Remove Something from Your Eye
|
This is just one of many ways to get something (a stray eyelash, dust, etc.) out of your eye. Steps
- NEVER rub your eyes when something goes into them.
- Grasp only your eyelashes with your fingers and pull your eyelid down over the lower portion of your eye.
- Keeping your eyelid closed with your fingers, blink several times and rapidly.
- Let go of your eyelid and see if you can find the particle in the lower portion of your eye, or determine if the particle has been cleared from your eye. If not, repeat the above steps.
Tips
- If you cannot remove the particle from your eye with the method above, seek professional help.
- Take a strand of hair and gently put into your eye the hair grabs on to dust particles. Try holding it taught with two hands like you would a piece of dental floss and gently pull the middle of the strand down over the particle-- avoiding your actual eye.
