Eye Wash

Eyewash solution for the first aid treatment of eye contamination and relief

When to seek immediate medical advice:

You should go immediately to your nearest accident and emergency (A&E) department if you have: persistent or severe eye pain, foreign bodies that can’t be washed out, decreased or double vision, flashing lights, spots, halos or shadows in your field of vision, blood visible in your eye, an irregularly shaped pupil (the black dot at the centre of the eye), pain when exposed to bright light, deep cuts around your eye, your eye is sticking out of your eye socket

You should also go to A&E if your injury was caused by an object flying at speed – for example, a projectile flung from an angle grinder; a very sharp object, such as glass or a knife; or chemical exposure. Flush your eye for at least 10 to 15 minutes before going.
