Knowing what to do for an eye emergency can save valuable time and possibly prevent vision loss. Here are some instructions for basic eye injury first aid.
Be Prepared
• Wear eye protection for all hazardous activities and sports-at school, home, and on the job.
• Stock a first aid kit with a rigid eye shield and commercial eyewash before an eye injury happens.
• DO NOT assume that any eye injury is harmless. When in doubt, see a doctor immediately
