What Causes Blurred Vision After Accidentally Touching The Eye With An OXY Cleansing Pad?
My daughter was washing her face with an Oxy Pad and accidentally slipped; the pad made contact with her eye. It burned or a while, I had her flush it with some high quality moisturizing eye drops. Today, she says her vision in that eye is very blurry and she cannot see her monitor very well at work. Is this normal? Will her vision return, or could she have caused irreparable damage to her eye?

Hello,
The eye should not be cleaned by oxy cleaning pad it may be harmful. Better to clean with sterile water and get her eye examined by an eye doctor to exclude permanent damage. Apply refresh eye teardrop. After examination and diagnosis opinion about prognosis can be given.
