By chemistsworld On 15 Sep 2017

Given below are important tips to follow in case you injure your eye:

* Keep calm and keep your eyes open until they can be flushed. Closing your eyes traps the chemical in and does further damage to the eyes.

* Do not rub the affected eye/eyes.

* Lift the upper eyelid up and out over the lower lid, and then roll your eyes around.

* Wash your eyes generously with water, and keep your eyes open during flushing.

* If you had blown, gently place a cold compress over your eye in 5- to 10-minute intervals. Do not place ice directly on the skin.

* Follow up with a physician to make sure all debris is washed out from the eyes have not been scratched or damaged.

* If the trauma is severe involving skull fracture or displaced bones, then you need to go an emergency care for immediate evaluation. Eye Care Products - Click Here to Get Great Deals
