Often it is ph that is out of range that makes eyes burn. Usually around 7.4 is easiest on the eyes.

I've got the ph at 7.4...that was my target, but i read an article concerning iconic photographer, Howard Schatz's pool and he mentioned neutralizing chlorine before a shoot. I didn't know that was possible or necessary, but i thought i would try it.

There is a chlorine neutralizer, but I'd argue get your pool squeaky clean so there's not a HINT of CCs, and raise your pH to the 7.6-7.8 range--which is most comfortable.
You also should consider adding salt so that the salinity mirrors that of tears.

Chlorine neutralizer is available from pool supplies. It is often just a solution of thio (sodium thiosulfate) but might often contain some other sulfites in addition
