Does Rinsing Of Eyes With Water And Liquid Tears Advisable For Severe Burning?
I have bad grout stains and a friend recommended putting clorox toilet bowl cleaner on the grout. I let it sit for 15-20 mins. I then got on my hands and knees and scrubbed the grout and mopped it up I didn t get any in my eyes but the fumes have made my eyes burning severely. I have rinsed my eyes well with water and then with liquid tears. Do I need to do anything else or will that suffice?

Hello,
You can rinse the eye with clear saline. Consult an ophthalmologist and get evaluated. A slit-lamp examination is required to rule out injury to the cornea.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
