      in labs and workshops where theres a danger of people getting stuff in there eyes they have bottles of water, with an eye cup attached, so you can flush your eye out with water.

      Tears do the same job.

      The worst thing you can do is probably poke it with your finger – thats just going to make it worse.

      Wash it out with eyewash – don’t try to rub it out with your finger as you could push the dirt further into the layers of your eye, causing damage.

      I did this with something in my eye a couple of years ago and had to go to A&E to have it removed – if you have something in your eye for over a day, go to the doctors to get it checked out 🙂
