Eye injury and my birthday

im a regular contact user but just last Tuesday I accidentally got pepper underneath my contact which caused a burn and then a cut on my eyeball right in front of my cornea. My eye swelled up and turned purple and red and it wouldn't stop tearing up, I couldn't wear my contacts anymore for a while obviously but I also don't have spare glasses so I've been struggling for a bit since I'm near sighted and my vision is -6. It's Sunday now and my eye is doing a lot better but it still tears up when I look at anything bright for more than a second and it's still a little puffy. My birthday is tomorrow and I really want to go to school so everyone can sing me happy birthday and they can give me my presents but I don't know if I can make it through the day without being able to see. I know there isn't anything I can do but I just wanted to know if I should or shouldn't go.
