So I just tried to blow out these 4 tea light candles on our bar and when I did the wax popped up and in my face. It didn't burn me or anything but some wax got in my eye. There is no more wax in my eye but it is still burning. I splashed some cold water in it. Thoughts? Anything else I can do?

Re: Advice?
ummmmm. no advice... but I'd probably be a lunatic running around my house freaking out.
if your eye is still burning, I'd be considering the ER...
"The House We Built."
A journey of building the dream.
Well if you splashed hot melted wax on your eye, the you may have burned the lining of your eye lid or the very least, the parafin in the wax left a chemical irritation.
"Splashing" your eye isn't really enough. You need to do an eye wash with cool water or cool sterile saline solution (like contact lenses) for several minutes.
If you notice increased pain, redness, a blister, or swelling, then I would go to an urgent care clinic or the ER.
