Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that cooking oil spilled onto eyes. Since you are not having pain, redness and visual complaints probably oil has not entered your eyes, hence no need to worry.
Since you have washed the eyes with water you have done the first aid, you can use antibiotic eye drops to prevent any secondary infection.
If you have any symptoms like pain, redness and blurring of vision you need to consult ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.


Thank you
