What Will Be The Effect Of Dropping Bike Lubricant In Eyes?

grab a bottle of bike lubricant that was next to my visen bottle....they look alike and accidentally drop some of the bike lubricant into eye. Did bath washes. Doesn't hurt or sting but just want to make sure if things are ok or do I need to take further steps.

Hello
It seems from the history that bike lubricant went into your eyes. The treatment is by thorough eye wash by water to remove the particles of lubricant.
Since you have done this and you are not having any symptoms, no need to worry.
But some particles may be retained in the fornices of conjunctiva, hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment by removal of the particles if any.

Thank you
