Chemical Splash

If a chemical splashes into the eye:
Flush the eye with water immediately.
Flushing will dilute the chemical. Use any source of clean drinking water. It is more
important to begin flushing than it is to find sterile water.
Continue to flush the eye for at least 20 minutes, particularly if the eye is exposed to
household cleaners that contain ammonia.
Seek emergency medical assistance if
symptoms such as pain, burning or visual blurring persist.
Follow any special directions on the chemical label.
Some chemical splashes should be evaluated by a physician even if
they do not cause symptoms.
