A little bleach got into my eye yesterday. what is the proper wau to clean it out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too late now. : The key to removing toxic liquids from eyes is immediate contact lens removal and flushing under running water. Fortunately bleach is only moderately caustic and long term damage is not highly likely. If it happened yesterday and your eye looks, feels, and sees normally, you are likely ok. If there are any lingering signs/symptoms, get it checked by an eye doctor.
