What to do if paint gets into your eyes

Although we have few opportunities to come into contact with paint in our daily lives, we must be extra careful when we have the opportunity to come into contact with paint when decorating our houses or at work. Once paint enters our eyes, we must clean our eyes in time, and no matter how severe the symptoms are, we must go to the hospital for examination and carry out effective treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

What to do if paint gets into your eyes

1. This situation needs to be dealt with promptly. First use plenty of clean water to clean the area, and then go to the ophthalmology department for further treatment.

2. First, it can cause chemical damage to the conjunctiva or cornea of ​​the eye. At the same time, the paint can cause physical damage to the cornea after hardening. Discomforts such as redness, swelling, pain, photophobia and tearing of the eyes may occur. Don't rush and don't rub your eyes. First, you can put your face in clean water and blink repeatedly, then go to the ophthalmologist in time to ask the doctor to help rinse it. If there is any residue, it can be cleaned off. Apply tetracycline eye ointment to the conjunctival sac and cover the injured eye for regular check-ups. It usually takes about 3 days to recover.

3. Close your eyes and rest as much as possible, and apply Tailibituo eye drops and Beifushu eye drops every 3-4 hours (these two eye drops are particularly important for corneal epithelial exfoliation). If severe irritation persists after 48 hours, seek medical attention.

Because the skin around the eyes is very sensitive and delicate, you should be extremely careful when removing makeup. You must use special eye makeup remover products, such as: Marylan Pure Beautiful Cleansing Oil, NUMAX Deep Cleansing Oil, etc.

(ii) Choose the right eye care products:

Currently, there are many eye care products available on the market, including eye cream, eye gel, eye essence, etc. Eye cream is highly moisturizing and nourishing, suitable for people with wrinkles around the eyes; eye gel is a plant-based gel-like substance with mild ingredients, easy to absorb and non-greasy, suitable for dark circles, eye bags, etc. Generally, use essence first, then eye cream or eye gel. A mung bean-sized amount is sufficient. It is best to apply hot compress first and then apply, and combine with massage and acupressure for better results.

(3) Massage and acupressure: Eye massage can promote blood circulation and muscle movement around the eyes, brighten the eyes and eliminate fatigue.

Apply eye care products every night before going to bed, and use the middle or ring finger to massage. Gently push the upper eyelid from the beginning of the eye to the end of the eye and press lightly to the temple, then start from the end of the eye and press each acupoint lightly (in order, the Sizhu point at the end of the eyebrow, the Yufu point in the middle of the eyebrow, the Zanzhu point at the beginning of the eyebrow, and finally the Jingming point at the beginning of the eye). The same goes for the lower eyelid, but only the acupoints are pressed (in order, the Tongzi point at the end of the eye, the Chengqi point and the Sibai point below the center of the lower eye). Press each acupoint until it feels sore and swollen, release after 2 seconds, and repeat 5-6 times.

(IV) Eye mask care:

Apply 1-2 times a week to provide special nourishment and relaxation to the eyes. You can use collagen eye mask for care, or you can make your own eye mask (mash carrot or cucumber, extract juice, add 4-6 drops of vitamin E oil and mix well).
