Suggest Treatment For Painful Itchy Eyes
6 days ago while rinsing the dye out of my hair in the shower some of the rinse water got in my eye. I rinsed my eye but honestly not very well. Now the underlid is red and a little swollen. teabags seem to reduce the pain and itching but the swelling seems to be increasing any suggestions I can t afford a doctor visit right now.

Well I read your history. It seems to be a case of hypersensitivity reaction to hair dye leading to eyelid swelling...
Continue your warm compressions... If swelling is too much , you can take anti inflammatory tab. Diclofenac + serratio peptidase... For 5-8 days...
For itching , you can start Anti histaminic eye drops....
Still I advice to consult your ophthalmologist once.
For any further query, you can contact me directly.
