Doesn't sound bad: Getting some fresh, clean, room temperature cooking oil in an eye doesn't sound that bad. Oils like olive oil, canola oil, corn oil, etc... Don't seem to have any bad effects when we touch them or taste them. So, after getting a bit in the eye, and after wiping the face and eyelids with a soft, dry cloth, one can probably watch for unusual changes and call a doctor if any noticeable changes occur.

Oil in eye: Unless it was very hot, just rinse out the oil with artificial tears and it should not be a problem. If it was hot, it may cause thermal injury and you should take him/her to an eye doctor.
