Immediate Action: What to DO & NOT DO

Proper immediate action is crucial to prevent further damage when a foreign body enters your eye. Follow these guidelines carefully:

  • DO NOT Rub Your Eye: This can scratch your cornea and worsen the injury.
  • DO NOT Attempt to Remove Embedded Objects: Avoid using tweezers, cotton swabs, or other tools that could cause more harm.
  • DO Try Gentle Blinking: Sometimes tears can naturally flush out small, non-embedded particles.
  • DO Flush Gently: If safe, rinse your eye with clean water or a sterile saline solution.
  • DO Seek Professional Help Immediately if: Pain persists, vision changes, redness or tearing increases, or the object feels embedded.

For urgent eye care, don't hesitate.
