I was cooking bacon tonight and some grease splattered up and into my eye. It stung a little at first but I didn't think anything of it until I took a shower later and my eye started to burn again. The eye is a little blood shot but I can't see that there is any real damage. It feels like the itchy scratch feeling you get after you've been crying. Is there something I can do at home to relive the feeling, or should I go to the doctor? I tried Visine and it helped for a while.

Eyes heal very quickly. You say there isn't any real damage. I would go to a pharmacist at a drug store and see what they recommend as far as eye drops. Could be a kind that may soothe things a little better than Visine.

This type of injury can fall into the major or minor category, and yours sounds minor. There is no drop you can take to completely resolve the pain, short of a prescription medicine, but a pain reliever by mouth will ease it. The eye will also feel better if you apply a drop of artificial tears (like systane, refresh plus or optive) hourly for a day or two.

As with any chemical injury to the eye, flush heavily with the immediately nearest bland liquid, preferably water or a designated eye wash. Flush more than you think you need, then flush some more. As I noted above, chemical splashes can lead to major or to minor injuries. An OPHTHALMOLOGIST is needed to assess this extent in person.
