Tetracaine or Procaine drops will definitely give relief, but you can't keep using it. It delays the healing of the top layer of the eye and will cause more harm than good. You probably have welder's keratitis (UV keratitis), and there is not much that helps other than time. If I saw you in the ER, I would give you some prescription pain meds so you can sleep. If it lasts more than 2 days, you really should go see someone about it.
