One week ago (on sunday) I had put biofreeze on my elbow and had not yet washed my hands when I rubbed my eye. I used a cool wash cloth to wipe my eye, but it still remained irritated. By Wednesday my eye was more irritated, being very sore, and constantly running. It is still sore (on Monday), and red.
Camphor/Menthol - Are there long term effects of getting biofreeze in your eye?

Tgarriott; Sorry this is very hard to get all out do you have a way to rinse your eyes out. And also if it is still bothering you tomorrow call your doctor to see what else you can do. Or if the doctor needs to see you. as far as I know no long-term effects but with the eyes you don;t want to mess around we only get one set.Chuck1957
