A member asked:

What are common symptoms of chemical eye burns?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pain, light sensitiv: Most chemical burns to the eye are painful and cause immediate damage with astounding firing of the nerves on the surface of the eye. A few, like lye, may not be nearly as painful but are in fact among the most serious. If untreated, the pain can worsen, the cornea turn opaque and vision seriously threatened.

Dr Ferdowsi and another doctor agreed
