It would depend on the severity of the wound, if your eyelid was closed then your eye will probably just feel sore. If you damage your eye (aka: have trouble seeing or feel irritation when you blink) you should: stab the other eye so that your vision is equal in both eyes <--joke; clean out the eye by gently flushing with lukewarm water (if you are worried about debris); and contact your doctor because you could develop an infection and he or she may be able to prescribe you medication for pain and to improve the speed of healing.

∙ 12y agoThe treatment for a pierce caused by a pencil depends on whether the object is still impaled or if it has been removed.
The most important action in any first aid or medical emergency is to ensure that the patient does not have any immediate life threatening conditions and that their vital signs (airway, breathing and circulation/pulse) are sound. Thereafter, any severe bleeding must be controlled through direct or indirect pressure and by elevation.
If the pencil is still impaled, do not attempt to remove it yourself. Go to the Emergency Department where the surgeon or doctor will remove it appropriately without causing more damage on the way out. Pad around the pencil with sterile gauze dressings and bind it on with a crepe bandage.
If the pencil was just a pierce, wash the area thoroughly with saline wound irrigation solution and control any bleeding. Refer the patient to a medical practitioner for evaluation if they have not received a tetanus immunisation injection. The danger of pencil piercings is the risk of lead poisoning. However, nowadays, pencils are made from graphite posing a mild risk of infection.
The risk of infection with a pencil pierce is fairly high. Ensure it is washed thoroughly with an antiseptic solution and seek medical aid if the condition worsens or you are in doubt.
