Quicklime in Eye
Doctor,I was bitten by a bee yesterday.For This,my mother rubbed lime on the affected area.My father also moved his hand to the affected area for some time.Then I put my hand on the affected area and then rubbed my left eye with the same hand.About 1 minute later,I remembered that I had put my hand on the lime.Immediately after that I washed my eyelids and two hands.At that time I didn't have any redness/burning or blurred vision in my eyes.About 15 hours have passed since this incident.So far I have not felt any redness/burning/blurred vision in my eyes.So,what lime was in my eyes?And the second thing is that I didn't clean the place where my mother applied quicklime.This morning (about 12-14 hours after applying the lime) I moved my hand again to the place where the lime was applied and touched one of my fingers directly on the white part of my eye.About half an hour has passed since the second incident but I did not see any redness/burning of vision.Did Quicklime Entered in My Eye?

If there are no symptoms , no redness/watering/burning sensation, then probably lime did not go inside eye. Lime tends to cause immediate inflammation. So if hours have passed n there is no redness, then nothing to worry For future, if it happens again, wash your eyes thoroughly .
