Is it OK to rinse out eye this way?

Question

A little while ago, I felt like I had something in my eye. It was dry and burning.,. So, I decided to rinse it out. Instead of cuppng water in my hands, I decided to take a small plastic cup, fill it halfway with cold water, tip my head back, and pour the water slowly in. While doing so, I poured quite a bit at one time.

Now, my eyes burn and are bloodshot. Is this just from pouring water in, or did I injure them? Can you injure your cornea from tipping water into your eye too fast, or am I just worried too much?

Answer 1

You should get some saline solution and put a couple drops in and wait a day or 2 and if they are still red than call your doctor or optometrist  

Answer 2

tap water is usually not the best for the eyes due to all thechemicals they use to make it safe to drink. Try using artificial tears. These will refresh and rinse out the eyes.
