no need to visit a dr for that one, simply ignore & use artificial eye drops as much as you like for 1 week or so. it will clear by itself.

No you won't stop normal tear production. If your vision is good and there is no severe pain try buying artifical tears and using every couple of hours waking hours.  That small amount of clorox will not normally cause bad problems.
