Dear sir, yesterday I cleaned a lead acid battery (which contains sulphuric acid) with bare hands. After that I forgot to wash my hands and got busy in other work. After that I flushed my eyes with water but my eyes got red maybe due to the indirect contact with a bit of acid. But I applied some eye drops. Now there is no redness. It is fine now? Or did my cornea burn? Is my eye ok now? Please reply. Thank you.

If there is no redness and itching , you can feel that your eyes are fine and in fact it is better to get your eyes examined to make sure that there is no aftermath of chemical burn

Hi, Chances of cornea damage is much less. But if you have burning eyes, watering eyes, or photophobia. That is jarring light ,You should immediately consult an eye specialist.
