How To Treat Blurred Vision And Damaged Eye Tissue After Splashing Of Hot Oil?
ok, I splashed a few tablespoons of very hot oil into my eye. the lid and surrounding tissue is damaged somewhat and the surface of the eye cooked a bit and has a slight milky film which is distorting vision.i have to drive a long way for treatment and will just see an er doc if i go, so if there is no immediate danger of further damage i will wait until an eye doc can see me. I assume that if I damaged my cornea no immediate treatment will help. avoiding infection seems the primary immediate concern correct if wrong
You splashed a few drops of hot oil in your eye, presently you are having blurred vision. You should wash your eyes with clean cool water for quite some time to get relieve from heat burn and scorch. After that apply 'I tone' eye drop on the affected eye.
Since you are having blurred vision, do not waste time get clinically assessed by an ophthalmologist, if you feel pain and other symptoms develop you will be referred to an Eye specialist. If the burn is diagnosed to affect your tear ducts, you may need artificial tears drops or an ointment to keep your eye moist while it heals. Do not touch or scratch your eyes. Take care of eye hygiene.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
