Hi Reza. Eyes exposed to detergent dust is a form of chemical trauma to the eye. Chemical trauma to the eye can be divided into:
Acid trauma caused by acidic substances pH < 7 Base trauma caused by acidic substances pH > 7 Chemical trauma to the eye is a form of emergency in the eye field because it can cause injury to the eye and even cause vision loss. When viewed from the type of chemical that hits your eyes, it is part of alkaline trauma. It is best to consult a doctor as soon as possible so that immediate action can be taken. The sooner you treat it, the better it will be for your eyes. In the future, when you work with risks to your health, always use personal protective equipment (PPE) when working.
