First Aid Treatment For Eye Injuries
Never guess about the severity of an eye injury. Seek medical attention as soon as possible following an injury, particularly if you have pain in the eye, blurred vision, loss of vision or loss of field of vision. There are several simple first aid steps that can and should be taken until medical assistance is obtained.Chemical Exposure
(i.e., oven cleaner, drain cleaner, or other caustic products or concentrated acid products)
DO immediately flush the eye with water or any drinkable (potable) liquid (such as milk), continuously for at least 30 minutes. Dilution as well as washing out particulate matter is the key.
DO hold head under a shower or water fountain or use a garden hose at low pressure to pour water into the eye. Leaving for the hospital or taking time to call a physician before flushing the eye first will only allow additional damage to occur and could mean loss of vision.
DO NOT try to neutralize the chemical.
Blows To The Eye
DO place a small, soft plastic sandwich bag wrapped in a clean cloth or gauze, filled with crushed ice (the size of a golf ball) gently over the eye, taping it to the forehead, to reduce pain and swelling. Whole ice cubes or commercial ice packs are too heavy and may cause further damage.
DO see an ophthalmologist (Eye M.D.) immediately if there is severe swelling or bleeding, decrease or loss of vision or field of vision, or double vision.
DO NOT allow the injured person to blow his nose, because, in case of a fracture of the orbit (socket), bacteria from the sinuses may be blown into the tissues around the eye, causing eye infection.
DO NOT allow injured person to rub the eye.
DO NOT apply pressure to the eye.
DO seek medical help immediately.
DO protect the eye with something hard, such as sunglasses or the bottom of a milk carton or a paper or Styrofoam cup taped over the eye, while en route to medical care.
DO NOT wash out the eye or try to remove an object stuck in the eye or orbit (socket).
Cuts or Punctures of the Eye or Eyelid
DO seek medical help immediately.
DO protect the eye with something hard, such as sunglasses or the bottom of a milk carton or a cup taped over the eye, while en route to medical care.
DO NOT wash out the eye or try to remove an object stuck in the eye or orbit (socket).
DO NOT apply pressure to the eye.
Foreign Body in the Eye
DO see an ophthalmologist (Eye M.D.) immediately if the particle does not wash out or if pain persists.
DO allow natural tearing to flush out the particle. If it does not flush out, use a squeeze-type bottle of commercial eye solution to irrigate the eye, which may dislodge the particle.
DO NOT remove protruding objects. Seek immediate medical aid.
DO NOT directly rub a speck or particle. Pull upper eyelid down over the lower eyelid and allow it to push the speck out of the eye.
