Steps to Minimize Eye Damage

First, try to remain calm and avoid rubbing the eye, as this can exacerbate the problem. If there is a foreign object in the eye, gently remove it with clean tweezers. If the eye is irritated or red, flush it with clean water for several minutes. If you suspect an eye inquiry, seek immediate medical attention. By taking quick and appropriate action, you can help ensure that your emergency does not turn into a more serious vision problem.
