Question: Recently I was washing my shower curtain and the soapy bleach mixture splash into one of my eyes. I immediately flooded my eye with water but around wo days after I'm experiencing a slight pain in the affected eye. I haven't seen a doctor yet. Is this very serious? should I see a doctor real quick?

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
You did the right thing by flooding your eyes with water.
If there is redness of the eyes or any haziness of vision, you should see an eye doctor without delay / attend the ER.
If it is only slight pain which is on the decline, you might wait.
Do get back to me if you have further queries.
