Eye Emergencies — Flushing the Eyes

 

  1. Hold the person's open eye under running tap water for at least 15 minutes. If you cannot get the victim to a faucet, keep flushing the eye with glasses of water for 15 minutes. The water should run from the inside of the eye (nearer the nose) to the outside (nearer the ear).

     

  2. If both eyes are affected, let the water run over both eyes.
