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!
