I was dying my hair today at home when stupidly I got distracted while squeezing the creme onto a section of my hair. A huge drop of the creme flopped right into my left eye stinging like hell and sending me into a crying cursing mess. I immediately rinsed my eye throughly with warm water. After several minutes my vision de-blurred and I was able to finish. The thing is now the inner corner of my left eye is all blood shot and it still stings a little. Is there anything I can do to help get the red out and take the sting away?

Maybe try using something like Visine or other itchy eye/redness medication. Other than that I really don't have any suggestions. Hopefully it will get better soon!

Me too. The reason I'm in such a hurry is because my SO and I are heading out to Vegas for my Birthday. And I don't want to have nasty pink eye looking crud in my pics. I spent a lot of time today primping to be picture perfect for this weekend.

A good nights sleep should clear it up, just make sure you get some descent rest in!
Oh yeah, and most importantly.....have fun!

Sheesh... I would have considered that an emergency and gone straight to the ER! How's your eye today?

I have gotten hair dye in my eye before and the redness went away after a day. It was still kind of itchy though for a few days, so be careful not to rub your eye, just let it be and you should be fine. I didn't use any visine or anything, I figured It would be better not to put more chemicals into it. If it is stinging or itchy you could put a warm compress on it. Have fun in Vegas!

If you're eye isn't better in the morning, do go see an eye doctor just to be on the safe side. My friend got a chemical burn in her eye one time when she got some stuff in her eyes- her doctors gave her some drops that helped clear it up and made it a lot less painful


In the mean time i'd avoid putting makup on that eye for now and i'd keep putting saline drops in there. You might also wanna try putting a bag of frozen peas on there too - it'll feel good!
