Eye Irritation due to tanning

I am very nervous right now because my tanning googles accidentally fell off and my right eye has been hurting and watering ever since. It has been 2 days now. This morning I couldn't even open my eye it was sealed shut.

Any idea at all what this can be?????

What's the mystery? You 'sun burned' your cornea (actinic keratitis).  Besides not being good for your skin (you are aging and increasing the risk of skin cancer) its bad for your eyes.
