flush my eyes with water!


Question Posted Wednesday June 6 2007, 11:44 am

Ok well one time when using a neutugena face scub, I got some in my eye and it stinged so bad!

the bottle said flush with water, whihc i didn't know how, so i kept try to get some water into my eye.

then when I wear my contacts on or cry a little, it stings so bad! like not the light sting when your cry but the burning stinging like someone threw salt water in your eyes!

help i don't know what to do!

Actually, it would be probably a lot less uncomfortable on your eye if you don't put it directly under the running faucet, though it does work if you do it that way.
Let the water run at a pretty fair pace, and allow your cupped hands to fill and overflow with water. Get your eye down in your hands, while allowing room for fresh water to keep flowing in. I know most eye flushes call for you to do so for about 15 straight minutes.

HOWEVER. If this happened, say for example yesterday, and your eye is still irritated: #1 REMOVE YOUR CONTACT LENSES RIGHT AWAY! #2 You should call your eye doctor and ask what you should do, and do that right away!

It is possible that you injured your eye in some fashion- possibly scratched it. You definitely don't want to wear contact lenses if your eye is scratched! That equals bad news!

Use the eye flushing instructions for next time something like this occurs.

i dont think full last would be the best way to go, just turn on you faucet where theres not so much pressure behind it and let the water run into your eye

Turn your water faucet on full blast and make sure it's really cold. Then stick your eye in the blast of water and keep it there for at least 15 minutes. It's not fun, but you need to do it. If you do it as soon as possible, there will be less of a chance of causing damage to your cornea.

Don't wear contacts for a few days after and you should be fine.
