Is it a bad sign when your eye shrinks after getting nail polish remover in it?

NOT MEDICAL ADVICE Symptoms that involve the tissue around the eye becoming puffy and swolen can indicate a severe irritant. Flushing the eyes out with water can help, but medical attention should be sought immediately. The chemicals in nail polish remover can be harmful if ingested or if they come in contact with soft tissues, such as the mucous membranes surounding the eyes and eyelids.
