The spray can cause these symptoms.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic
I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.
I reviewed your history.
Clorox spray is a powerful disinfectant and if it falls into eye it can cause irritation, redness and epithelial defect of the cornea.
Just try to remember whether the spray fell into your eyes or did you rubbed your eyes with fingers after touching the spray. If yes then the spray could have caused these symptoms.
The treatment is by washing the eyes thoroughly with normal water and the use of artificial tears eye drops and antibiotic eye drops.
I would recommend use of eye drops like just tears and moxifloxacin eye drops.
These symptoms should respond in 1-2 days, if they does not need to consult your eye doctor.
Hope this answers your question and the information is helpful to you.
Thank you
With regards
