First Aid Steps Before You Arrive
Taking proper steps while on the way to the office can help protect your eye and limit damage.
Rinse the eye immediately with clean water or saline for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses during rinsing if possible, and call our office for instructions while flushing.
Do not remove any object stuck in or around the eye. Lightly cover with a shield or cup without pressure and seek immediate care.
Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. If vision changes, bleeding in the eye, or pain occur, call us right away.
If rinsing does not remove the object, avoid rubbing the eye. Keep it closed and covered until examined.
If our office is closed and your symptoms are severe, go to the nearest emergency room. Dr. Hilal-Campo has surgical privileges at Valley Hospital and coordinates follow-up care.
