SECTION VII
EYE INJURIES
Be extremely careful and gentle when treating eye injuries.
Floating objects in the eye which can be visualized may be flushed
from the eye with water. If the object cannot be removed in this
manner, the victim should seek medical attention.
Never attempt to remove objects imbedded in the eye! First Aid care
for these injuries consists of bandaging BOTH eyes and seeking
professional care promptly! An inverted paper cup covered with a
bandage is appropriate for serious eye injuries while the victim is
transported to the hospital.
For chemical burns of the eye, wash the eye with copious amounts of
water for 15 to 30 minutes. Then wrap a bandage around both eyes
and seek professional help.
Eyes are delicate and sight is precious! Prompt professional
attention to eye injuries is required to preserve sight!
