I put toothpaste on my spot on my forehead, I get married in 2 days and it’s the only thing that dries it out- I got it bed and I started moving around and rubbed my face.

BAMMMMM immediate stinging to my eye, after about a minute or two it stopped burning, now my eye is dry and red but other symptoms.

im worried im going to go blind, we are in Spain so cant see someone quickly. Im so annoyed with myself :( and im panicking like crazy

its taken me a while to reply as I didn’t have access to WIFI or 3G and thank god I didn’t as these messages are very unkind..

to provide an update; after I posted this my eye kept burning, on and off, extreme agony pain and when I noticed my vision started to feel blurry I went to see a pharmacist, they straight away sent me to an English speaking ophthalmologist.

it has caused me to have a corneal ulcer due to chemical burns and I need to see my optician when we get back to England, but was advised to do this asap so we’ve cut our wedding holiday short..

a nice pink eye on my wedding day, slight blurred vision & I am anxious about it.

I was told the type of tooth paste matters and the one I was using, the whitening one has much more chemicals that are extremely dangerous to the eye and I probably got a pea size worth into my eye

I mean with the best will in the world asking for medical advice from a random group of strangers on the internet was never going to end well. The lesson here is always consult a medical professional if in any doubt.
