Could be lint from the towel, could be shampoo residue, could be rat hair allergy, could be someone has been smoking in your room during the night.

In short, it could be anything.

Does is hurt to look into the light? If so its most likely that you scratched your sclera. The sclera is the white part or your eye and it is a thick wall which helps protect the internal eye. If this is what you are experiencing then I have some tips. I have had this happen to me sereveral time because my eyes are easily scratched by contacts and I really should just wear glasses but that's besides the point. When this happens tobramyiclin eye drops are like wonder magic drops and they will have your eye feeling bettter in about 24 hours. And relief will b immediate. These are prescription only tho so u would have to see a dr. I don't have insurance and I also have tips for when u can't get the drops. First alternate warm and cold presses on your eye with a soft cloth. Stay in dimly lit areas and try to sleep as much as possible. Try putting neosporin on the outside of the upper eye lid. The medicine actually diffuse so close to the eye that this really helps. You will prolly get a headache also from the sore eye and excedrine migrane works pretty well. Good luck and I hope ur eye feels better soon. .
