Type of soap?: If you got soap in your eye, the 1st thing to do is copiously rinse your eye with tap water, eye rinse, or normal saline right away. Do this this for several minutes. I assume you are talking about bathing soap. Stronger soaps such as wash detergents, dishwasher soaps, industrial soaps are far more concentrated & may significantly irritate your eye. After significantly rinsing your eye, see an MD.
