A member asked:
Hi doctor, can i rinse my relative eyes with normal saline because she has an irritation, pain and also sandy feeling in the eye ??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many eyedrops: The normal saline is to me unknown as to saline strength and sterility. Multiple eye drops are available in the pharmacies which can function as eye rinse. Unless there is an immediate need, you can wait to purchase the proper drops. If the symptoms are persistent, it would be wise to see an ophthalmologist for evaluation.
