What Causes Burning Sensation After Splashing Grease On Eyes?

I got a small splash of grease in my eye while cooking. It is not red and eyesight does not seem affected but I can feel a mild burning sensation. I have put artificial tears in it several times. I am worried because I only have one functioning eye as it is.

Since you are already using tear substitute continue it.Increase the frequency of tear substitute .You can add a low dose topical steroid like lotepred 4 tomes a day along with antibiotic oint at night.If there is any inflammation it will come down.
