Go to ER: Go to the emergency room then followup with the eye MD. A hot oil splash in the eye is nothing to take chances with. Since there is irritation, it sounds as if there may be a burn. You might get prescribed an antibiotic ointment to prevent infection and possibly a steroid ointment or eye drop to help reduce scar formation. Depending on severity, the docs might also recommend ascorbic acid drops.
