I'm cooking and a drop of hot oil splashed into my left eye. It's really itching and burning, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you please help me figure out how to treat this?

You can flush your eye with clean water for at least 15 minutes to help relieve the symptoms. You can use lubricating eye drops like Refresh Tears or Systane Ultra to soothe the eye. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult an ophthalmologist for further evaluation and treatment.
