Pain in my eye

Hi there.I was washing a cup in the sink a while ago when all of a sudden I got a strange sensation in my eye.My eye has been sore since.Not hugely but there is pain there.I know that nothing from the sink went into my eye as I didn't feel any liquid go into my eye so I was wondering what this could be? I do have pretty persistant blepharitis which causes dry eye which I treat every day so I was wondering if maybe it was that?

Thank you!

Assuming you do not wear contact lens? If not and it doesn't feel like something is in your eye or an eyelash rubbing on the eye then the likely cause is dry eye. Would start your favorite artificial tear about every 20 minutes for the next hour or two. If dry eye that should take care of it.
