Irrigate: You need to be irrigating the acid out of your eyes now. Cool water for at least 10 minutes, then go to urgent care/ eyedr / er for exam and ph testing.

Irrigation: You should immediately irrigate your eyes with water or any non-toxic fluid, then go to the nearest emergency room for a follow up. They most likely will ask an ophthalmologist to see you the same day for a more thorough examination. Regardless you need to immediately irrigate, irrigate and irrigate your eyes!
