Grass Seed ,Dust ,Pollen,Scratched from Runnin Ect been there before LOL
I rinse thier eyes out good with a good saline solutiion like for cleaning contacts ect or just plain ol eye wash then give em a benadryl let em rest up.
Just watch for any infections check the eyelids out good when washing for any forien objects.

I use Terramycin ointment if their eyes get to bad. You can get it at most animal supply stores and it works wonders.

You can use neosporin ointment if you don't have eye ointment. Make sure you get the regular kind and not the kind with pain medicine in it. sounds like he definately got some weeds etc in his eyes.
