Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

Is there anything else we can do for my husband's eye after he got cement in it at work yesterday, even though we rinsed it out and it's still very irritated and red?

Answered by Dr. Denis Katundu

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

1. Seek immediate medical attention if irritation and redness persist after rinsing out the cement.

 

2. Refrain from rubbing the eye to prevent further irritation and potential damage.

 

3. Use over-the-counter lubricating eye drops to alleviate discomfort temporarily.

 

4. Keep the affected eye gently closed to minimize irritation and prevent foreign particles from entering.

 

5. Follow any instructions provided by a healthcare professional for proper care and treatment.

 

Thanks
