What Will Happen If Hot Oil Is Splashed Into The Middle Of Eye?
I got hot oil splashed into the middle of my eye - it feels like it hit the pupil/iris part. It is sore but not massively so but concerned about permanent damage to eye. My age is 20 yrs, female and I've got short sighted eyes with no astigmatism. I wear glasses usually. I have some double vision when I'm tired.

Hello
It seems from the history that hot oil splashed into the eye. The hot oil can cause damage to the cornea. The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops and artificial tears eye drops.
The treatment depends on the severity of damage caused by the hot oil. Hence I advise you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
