Bleaching eyes is a ......... Communication

Answer:
I’m hoping that this question is asked “just out of interest”, not because you *really* need to know *right now*. Though, if you are asking for yourself, it is likely that you don’t have it in your eye. Hurts too much.
The place to look for emergency first aid requirements is a document called an MSDS. A materials safety data sheet. They are found these days by politely asking my friend Dr Google for her help. This is the first hit she came up with when I used the terms “chlorine bleach MSDS”.
By far, the most preferable thing to do with such a sheet is to read it before you open the bottle. You will then get a good understanding of what you are getting yourself into in terms of dangers, and what to do to prevent injury, and then what to do if you actually come in contact with the “stuff”.
However, if you were to get into an emergency situation without having read the MSDS, or you come across someone in that situation, chemicals in the eyes are typically treated in the first instance by flooding the eye with cool to tepid potable water, or saline. But noting that flooding does not mean using any significant pressure.
Hypochlorite bleach is nasty. You know that it does not simply rinse off the skin. It reacts with fatty oils etc in the skin by saponification, giving soap. And, soap is hard to wash off instantly. Eyes contain fatty substances (I gather). Potential for permanent damage.
Note, further, that swimming pool chlorine is a way more concentrated version of the same thing.
