What to do during an eye emergency
If you’re facing an eye emergency, follow these steps while seeking help:
- Stay calm: Keeping calm will help you think clearly and follow instructions.
- Don’t rub your eyes: Rubbing can make things worse, especially if there’s something in your eye or if it’s been injured. It can lead to further damage or infection.
- Rinse with water: If chemicals or something else gets in your eye, gently flush it with clean, lukewarm water. Avoid using other liquids unless advised by a healthcare professional.
- Use a cold compress for injuries: If you’ve injured your eye, applying a cold compress can help reduce swelling.
- Protect your eye: Try to shield your eye from further harm if there’s an injury or foreign object, but don’t apply pressure. You can use a clean cloth or eye shield.
