Suggest Remedies For Accidental Contact Of Harpic Toilet Cleaner In Eye

My son 4 years old managed to take the harpic cleaning block from the toilet, put it all over his hair. Whilst he was showering I realised that he hadn t just put cream in his hair as he stated. His eyes were very sore. I managed to rinse out all the toilet cleaner & bathe his eyes in water. Is there anything else I should do?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Harpic toilet cleaner contains high acid content so if few drops of cleaner gone into eyes might cause some damage to sclera or cornea might lead to corneal abrasion or corneal ulcer.
Even if eyes are well cleaned with enough water, consult ophthalmologist and get his eyes examined as soon as possible.
Ok and take care.
