Can Chlorinated Water Affect Eyes?
my daughter finished swimming in public pool a couple of hours ago. She is restless and frustrated with her vision. She says she cannot see, very blurry and halos around everything. She also has photophobia. I am assuming she is reacting to too much chlorine. I have flushed her eyes a few times with no relief. Is there any concern?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your daughter and would like to say that chlorinated water could cause only irritation and that is also not too much and redness of eye that's all if your daughter has the blur vision then this need to be seen by ophthalmologist, take care and have a nice day.
