Talk with a personal injury attorney in the same areas as the store is located (same county).

You did not have to pay your medical bills, but the taxpayers did. If the store was negligent and your injury is a result of the negligence, the medical bill payments will be paid back to the state from the proceeds of the lawsuit.

Gather up your medical billing statements and consult with an attorney.

I am concerned about continuing eye pain. Please see an opthamologist and have your eye examined for presence of a metal particle or a bleed "behind" the eye.

Best wishes,
