Need exam: Fumes from bleach usually cause irritation, but not more serious problems. However it is concerning that you have vision changes today. Regardless of what might have preceded your eye pain / seeing halos around lights = you need to have your eyes examined right away. The eyeball surface will be viewed under magnification. Good luck and feel better

Exposure to bleach: Exposure to acids and bases can be dangerous to the cornea (clear part of the eye). While smash injuries are the most dangerous, fumes can affect the eye as well. Use copious amounts of artificial tears to help clear out any chemicals and also to help the surface of the eye heal from any irritation. If your pain is severe and vision is blurred, an eye examination is warranted.
