What do i do if battery acid gets in eyes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Flush the eyes now!: Irrigate the eyes with copious amounts of fresh water or saline for as long as you can. Battery acid, from the explosion of lead-acid automotive batteries, can be vision threatening. Irrigation of severe burns is continued in the ambulance and in the emergency room until the ph of the conjunctiva is normalized. Particles may be entrapped under the upper lid. Ophthalmic consultation is critical.
