Ep178 Eye Irrigation: How you actually do it

Dust, dirt, smoke, and other loose particles can quickly irritate the eye. In this episode, we explain when eye irrigation is appropriate, how to safely use a saline ampoule to flush the eye, and the correct technique for removing loose foreign material from the eye’s surface. We also discuss when not to irrigate, such as with embedded objects, and the importance of prolonged flushing with running water following chemical or substance exposure to the eyes. Because when it comes to protecting vision, prompt and gentle first aid can make all the difference.
