Another good reason to patch the eye in corneal injuries or keep the eye
closed as much as possible is that the cornea has no way to get oxygen
except by osmosis from the inner eyelid, so keeping the eye closed
increases oxygen to the cornea and helps it heal.
I like the misting with CS idea too.

Hi Steve,
In my experience, misting the eyes frequently with a gentle spray of
home-made CS or putting in a few drops will help prevent bacterial
infection, which will hasten healing and reduce the amount of
discomfort from inflammation. Whether the silver has any direct
positive effect on the healing process is an area of speculation. It
might.
Nothing will fix it right away, though! It's going to hurt until it
starts to heal.
She should spend as much time "resting her eyes" as possible. When I
had an eye injury similar to that, it was the effort to keep one eye
open and the other closed that drove me crazy more than anything else.
