Drop of cooking oil
accidentally while frying egg, I got a small drop of cooking oil in my eye, at the time I never even felt it but the next morning I have a red blood eye, no vision problem or any pain, do I need to go to the ER or just go to see a doctor on available appointment. Is there any worries?????????
thank you

Call a local ophthalmologist, explain your situation and ask to be seen as an emergency. If you can't do that - go to the emergency room or walk-in clinic. Anytime you get an eye injury, sometimes even a small one, the delicate covering of the eye can be wide open to infection. Take care of this (hopefully small) situaton and keep it from becoming a big problems. Our eyes are so precious, aren't they.
