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:

Is faucett water a good idea? Ya never know what is in it. I would think a medicated eye wash would be much safer, you can have your husband get that too while he's at the drug store.

I have no idea on the sterilized water...If it's in the original container, I wouldn't think so. But I'm no expert.

Good call posting a new thread about the emergency forum. Silly me, I'm trying to post it in all the individual threads

Anyway, do what you think is best, I would think some kind of rinse (sterilized water or medicated) might bring some relief.

Hey, I just had a thought. Sometimes when we have medical issues on the weekend we call the pharmacist. They are very knowledgeable and helpful.
