Avoid rubbing your eye when you feel debris
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Avoid rubbing your eye when you feel a foreign object in it, as you may scratch your cornea. Follow these tips to remove debris.
* If you wear contact lenses, take them out before trying to remove the object.
* If the particle is over the dark center or colored part of your eye, try gently flushing it out with water.
If it doesn't come out, put on dark glasses and get medical help.
* If the object is on the white part of your eye or inside the lower lid, use a moistened tissue to gently remove it.
* If it is stuck or embedded in the eyeball, cover your eye lightly with a clean dressing and get immediate medical help.
