Tyre cleaner in eye

[kl1702]

Hello yesterday evening i was washing my brothers car and the wind blew a tyre cleaner spray back into my eye as i was spraying it onto the car. I quickly irrigated my eye and gave it a few rubs. My eye seemed irritated for the rest of the evening but it was tolerable. Today, I have woken up and the corner of my eyes seem quite stiff. I'm not sure if it was due to me rubbing and irrigating my eye from yesterday but the pain is concerning but i do not have access to a doctor as it is saturday. do you think it is a cause for concern. could i have blocked a tear duct as i was irrigating the eye. or do you think i could have irritated the eye or do you think it could be poisoning from the tyre cleaner.

please help. kind regards

Do not think blocked tear duct. Tire cleaner is quite irritating. First aid is limited to using artificial tears frequently, be sure you showered and washed your hair and face free of all tire cleaner. don't patch eye. If not back to normal on Monday see an ophthalmologist or optometrist.
