Emergencies — Flushing the Eyes
- 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).
- If both eyes are affected, let the water run over
both eyes.
