Rinse with water: Rinse the eye with luke warm water with a running stream of clean water. Please check the label and if there is redness, change in vision or pain, please see your physician right away. Continue to rinse the eye and watch for the above symptoms.

Antiseptic in eye: The correct action is flushing the eye with plenty of water. Lots and lots of water.
