Yes, it would be a good idea to see an optometrist given the symptoms you are experiencing. Sensitivity to light and a feeling of scratchiness in the eye could be signs of an infection or other issue that should be addressed promptly. It is recommended to consult a professional (optometrist or doctor) within 24-48 hours to get the appropriate treatment. You can mention that it is urgent when making an appointment.
