A common cause:
If she have been sleeping badly it could be that she had dried eyes, and that the eye lid get stuck to the eye and rift some of the “top layer” off. Feels like dust in the eye and hurts. Very hard to see the damage without good eye doctor equipment, and the doctor need to look for this kind of damage by magnifying and using the reflection of light on the surface of the eye to see it.
Happened to me three months ago.
The eye doctor will give prescription on eye cream to reduce the possibility of bacterial infection and to smooth the eye. This helps a lot.
The eye repair itself quick (<1week) but it takes 1-2months before it is as strong as before, so remember to use eye drops if the eyes is a bit dry.
Oh my goodness that sounds very unpleasant! Did that affect both your eyes at the same time? Did it result in itching or more localised pain on a specific part of your eye? I'm wondering if this could have happened to both her eyes concurrently... thank you so much for your suggestions.

This is quite common my eye doctor told me.
