I'd take a squirt bottle and flush it out. You can't leave it there it could cause damage and/or infection. Spray his eye until it comes out or after spraying use a damp cloth to help swipe it out.

How about just bringing the tort to your sink, open the faucet to gentle flow of lukewarm temp water, get a good light, magnifying glass if needed, rinse and look, rinse and look again, if you see it stucking out, gently remove it, and once again- rinse out. Then soothing eye ointment would help her with discomfort
