What Causes Discomfort And Bump In Eye Due To Radiator Fluid Splash?

Hi, I originally had hot radiator fluid go into my eye about 4 weeks ago. I was seen in the ER where they numbed my eye and told me that I had a scratch and it should get better in a few days. Then I got a flash burn at the job site I was working at and since then I have had eye pain and discomfort. I have tried many over the counter drops which temporarily help. At one point in time there was a bubble or blister on the edge of my iris out into the white portion of my eye which went away. Today (2 weeks later) my eye is really uncomfortable and it is difficult to see and there is a white bump on my iris. What could this be and what should I do? (right eye)

it is burn or scald injury of cornea. right would have beento flash cold water to eye for considerable time. now damage has been done. it is to be treated as corneal ulcer. apply antibiotic eye drop 6hourly. and neosporine eye ointment ,may be applied at bed time. in between get your cornea checked by eye doctor regularly till epithilasition is complete you are free from all symptoms. can use a dark glass at day time.
