Pesticide is a commonly used drug in agriculture that can solve various disease and pest problems of crops. Of course, in daily life, many people have pesticides splashed into their eyes due to some special reasons. Pesticides are toxic, so if they splash into your eyes, you must deal with them immediately. So, what should you do if pesticides splash into your eyes? The specific method will be introduced to you below!

1. What to do if pesticide splashes into your eyes

If pesticide splashes into your eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water or saline for at least thirty minutes. You should immediately go to the hospital's ophthalmology department for relevant examinations and follow-up treatment. Apply chloramphenicol or erythromycin eye ointment after the conjunctiva may be damaged. It is best to bandage your eyes with gauze and remove it the next day. If there is no burning ulcer, the problem should not be serious. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an eye examination.

2. Eye protection methods to prevent trauma

In our daily work, study and daily life, there are many opportunities for eyes to be injured. In addition to some mechanical injuries, other factors such as chemicals, special light (such as ultraviolet rays, infrared rays, X-rays, etc.), high temperature and cold, etc. can all cause damage to the eyes. Therefore, avoid going to places with strong winds and heavy dust. If you come into contact with harmful chemicals at work, you should take protective measures. Don't read under strong light and keep a certain distance when watching TV. Wear protective glasses when performing electric welding, gas welding, watching the solar eclipse, working in the snow, etc.

3. Eye protection method: pay attention to nutrition

If the food we eat in our daily life lacks the nutrients the body needs, the body's resistance will be reduced, which can easily lead to eye diseases. For example, a lack of vitamin A can cause night blindness and dry eyes; a lack of vitamin B can cause retrobulbar neuritis. These diseases can also cause blindness. Therefore, we should pay attention to nutrition and eat more foods rich in vitamins A, B and C, such as soy products, eggs, animal hearts, livers and kidneys, spinach, green vegetables, carrots, cabbage and various fruits. Do not be picky about food, pay attention to nutritional regulation, and develop good eating and hygiene habits.
