Hello
It seems from the history that you had fall of hot oil into your eye following which you are having burning sensation, blurring of vision and swelling of eyes.
These symptoms indicate damage to the cornea in the form of corneal epithelial defect. This requires treatment by the use of antibiotic eye drops and eye ointments.
Use of analgesic drugs will provide symptomatic relief.
Hence I advice you to consult eye doctor for examination to assess the severity of eye injury and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
