Laundry Bleach Splashed Into Eye. Will This Cause Any Damage?
Thanks for your query.
Laundry bleach is a chlorine based chemical which is alkaline in nature.
Chemical injury is considered a medical emergency.
The eye tissues being very delicate may get seriously damaged due to its exposure.
The pain & burning sensation may persist depending upon the amount & potency of the chemical (bleaching agent).
Thorough eye wash has to be given so that there is no residual chemical in the eyes & it is appreciable that you put some artificial tear drop to wash it out. Further management depends on the extent of injury & amount of limbal ischemia.
So, it will be better to consult an Ophthalmologist & get a proper examination done.
Based upon that appropriate management steps could be taken.
There is no need to worry, you will be fine.
Wishing you a Good Health.
Please let me know if I need to clarify further.
Thanks & take care.
