How Can Burning Sensation In The Eyes And Cloudy Vision Be Treated?

My dog was sprayed by a skunk last night and I bathed her in hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dish soap. When she shook it off, some of it went into my eye and now I am experiencing a burning sensation, watery eyes and very cloudy vision. From what I have looked up on google, I think I might have a corneal burn. Any suggestions?

Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
it seems like chemical burn.If cornea is involved then you will experience intense pain along with blurred vision.it is one of the ophthalmic emergency to prevent sequaele of chemical burn.depending upon the severity ,treatment varies.
its advisable to visit ophthalmologist asap.
if its recent accident then saline wash at clinic is needed.
till then you can safely use soft drops 4 times a day one drop each .this would just take care of burning sensation.
for starting further treatment thorough eye examination is must.
whenever any chemical goes in the eye one should wash the eyes with clean water thoroughly.
