If you are not in a great hury wait and the chlorine will disipate of its own accord in a day or 2 do not put on a pool cover.
Use a chlorine reducing agent. They are usually called "After Shock" or something similar. These chemicals are available at your local pool supply store and are usually based on some formulation of sodium thiosulfate.
There is a Materials safety data sheet for sodium thisulfate in the links below.
In order to answer your question, you need to know whether there is too much or too little chlorine in the water. 99% of the time when eyes are irritated there is TOO LITTLE chlorine which results in the presence of chloramines (or combined chlorines) which are the cause of chlorine odors, eye and skin irritation.
Measure the chlorine level (free chlorine AND combined chlorine). If you find too little chlorine, or the presence of combined chlorine, shock the pool.
I partly agree with the above. You can lower the chlorine using Thiosulphate which can be purchased at your pool store.
Chloramines should be test. Get a good Taylor DPD, not OTO, test kit and test for chloramines. Anything over .6 and shock the pool.
Time, and the brightness of the sun will bring your chlorine level down.

If the swimming pool water is milky, it is advisable to have the level of stabiliser (cyanuric acid) tested. A level of over 80ppm in the pool water is likely to lead to "chlorine lock" which can turn the water milky. If the problem is the stabiliser, you will need to drain some of the swimming pool water and refill with fresh water to bring the stabiliser level down to 30-50ppm. To avoid the level getting out of control, use a non-stabilised chlorine product such as calcium hypochlorite. http://www.havuz.org/pool_blog/2004_01_01_pool-problems.htm
The maximum chlorine that a public pool can have in it and be open for use is 7.0 ppm. You could wait for it to come down on it's own or you can use a declor to bring it down. This is the rule for the state of Indiana deptartment of health.
