Okay, here's my first aid training at work. (once a year for 12 years )

get a clean cup (plastic or paper please, we don't want any accidents)

roll up a towel to create a nice cushion on the edge of your sink.

lay your head on its side so that the bad eye is closest to the basin and the good eye is closest to the ceiling.

use the cup to pour clear, cool (or lukewarm) water over the eye...try to keep the eye open as much as possible.

If there's a foreign object in the eye, this might help.


Oh, and since your in pain, I won't make you hunt:
