Wiping doesn't help. In fact, the more I wipe the worse it gets. The only thing that works for me is to completely leave it alone no matter how bad it burns. It generally stops or seems to dry out on its own if I leave it alone.
You seem to have it real bad and I'm not saying this is your solution. All I can really do is commiserate somewhat.

I am curious about the 'wiping doesn't help' thing. I can't survive without wiping but admit that it is close to being a continuous process for me. Once (a very long time ago) I somehow got out on the road without any kind of sweat rag to wipe my brow/eyes. I got sweat in my eyes and ended up sitting on the road for about a half hour waiting for the burning to stop. I truly could not see, but it was both eyes (maybe not for you). I ended up taking a handful of paper napkins from a fast food place and riding home relatively carefully. One thing to note here is that this was a 'early in the season' ride so I had not been doing a lot of sweating. In that case the mineral content of your sweat can be pretty high vs what it is when you are heat trained (so I understand, anyway).
