What to Do If...? First Aid Tips
If something gets into your eye,
such as sand or dust, do not rub
your eye. Wash your eye with water
to get the object out.
If your eye gets hit by a ball or a
fist, put cold cloths on your eye
for 15 minutes. This will make the
swelling go down and the eye won't
hurt so much. You should also go to
the doctor.
If an object, such as a stick or a
pencil, gets stuck in your eye, do
not pull it out. Put a loose bandage
on your eye. This is very serious.
You need to go to the doctor right
away.
If a chemical, such as cleaning
fluid or battery acid, splashes in
your eyes, wash out your eyes with
water for at least 10 minutes. You
need to go to the doctor right away.
