eye wash

Do you have something in your eyes, but you have no eyewash handy?  Here’s a quick way to try correcting the problem.

1. Get a small eye-sized cup. The cup should fit snugly around your eye socket.

2. Fill the cup with lukewarm water – you don’t want to shock your eye with cold water or burn it with scalding water.

3. Tilt your head down, position the cup snugly against your eye, and then tilt your head back so your eye (and the cup) are facing upwards.

4. Blink several times and look around in a circular pattern to help get the water in your eye.

Do not use water that is too hot or too cold, and expect to get wet!
