PROFESSIONAL FAQS: I GOT CASTOR OIL IN MY EYE. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

It should generally not be a problem if you get castor oil in your eye. It is often used in products as a natural lubricant and will help to alleviate dry eyes. If you do have a reaction such as blurriness, itchiness or swelling and this does not subside within a few minutes, you may be having an allergic reaction. The best treatment is to flush your eye out with sterile water and consult a health professional for further advice.

If you got castor oil in your eye, flush it with water. Castor oil does no much harm, there could be mild irritation and temporary redness.

Your vision will probably be blurry, wash well with running water and without not returning to normal throughout the day, look for an ophthalmologist.
