Run, don’t walk, to the nearest faucet and start splashing water in your eyes. Theoretically, an eyewash might be slightly better, but plain old water does the job just fine. The longer the chemical is in contact with your eyes, the more damage it does. Therefore, time is of the essence. Continue to flood your eyes with water for at least fifteen minutes. It can take a good while to completely flush out all the remaining chemicals. If your eyes then feel irritated or burn, or they seem blurry, or if it was a strong acid or base that got in your eye, seek medical attention right away from either an ophthalmologist or an emergency room.
