Swimming pool chlorine, while annoying, is not dangerous and all you need to do is wait and your eyes will recover. However, you may not want to swim again without wearing a divers mask (or swimming goggles) to protect your eyes.
However, if your eyes are really bad after swimming, the pool people may have made a mistake with the chlorine pool dose. If you think this has happened you need to tell the pool guard and make sure you call an ambulance to take you to the emergency department at hospital.

It is often caused by water that is not chemically balances - - - bad pH levels. Readings in the pH range that are no where near recommendations. Readings of anywhere below 7.2 and above 7.8 will cause eye irritation. The total alkalinity readings are just as important and must be within the recommended range. 80 to 120 ppm. Chlorine levels can be at 10.0 ppm and not interfere with your eyes. k
