What to Do in an Eye Emergency
Eye emergencies can be worrying, but knowing how to respond can make a crucial difference in preserving your vision. The following guidelines will help you manage the situation safely until you can receive professional care at The Sight Centre.
Do not rub your eyes.
If chemicals are involved, gently flush your eye with clean water.
For foreign objects, do not attempt to remove them yourself.
Cover the affected eye with a clean, loose bandage.
