When you have a corneal abrasion, it's not typically recommended that you cover it with a patch, as this can be a thriving environment for bacteria to grow.
If a foreign object does enter your eye, it's important that you do not attempt to remove it yourself. Instead, you should present to your local emergency room so that a trained professional can help remove it.
