I think I got shampoo in my eyes last night I woke up with burning/stinging. This morning I rinsed eyes out with purified bottled water but I read bottled water contains micro plastics. Could this hurt my eyes and are there micro plastics in my eyes?

Eyes are painful and gritty. Use day & night eyedrops prescribed by optometrist, she said I have dry eye condition. Drops dont help, been using them for over 6months , eyes sting in contact with water and especially in the evening ?
