If you can't get to a veterinarian, the best you can do is to keep this eye comfortable and lubricated. See if your pharmacy can give you human eye lubricant drops or gel that is designed to keep the eye moist, and put this in the eye several times daily. Even a human antibiotic eye ointment would work well, if you can get that. Then all you can do is hope that the eye can heal itself with time.
