What Must I Do After Accidentally Splashing Some Hot Coffee Into My Right Eye?
Question: This is kind of silly, but the other morning I was drinking some hot coffee and a little bit splashed into the inner corner of my right eye. It didn't hurt when it happened, but the corner of my eye turned a little red. My right eye is a bit weaker than my left eye as it is, but I'm just a little paranoid about it. My vision in my right eye seems to be fine, it's a little blurrier than my left eye but that's how it usually is. I think I'm just overthinking about this.
Brief Answer:
Just a minor trauma, nothing to be concerned.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I don't think it is a matter of concern. Since it didn't hurt at the moment when happened and is not hurting now then it is not burned. You can rinse it with cool water and the redness will soon go away. No long term consequences possible.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
