Pine-sol in the eyes, what to do?
Try a saline eye wash. They are sold at drugstores %26amp; come w/ an eye cup.





Don't mess around w/ eye drops until you talk to a doctor.





If it doesn't help go to an urgent care center or emergency clinic soon. Waiting could allow the eye to become more irritated or damaged.
Reply:My answer is better. It came from Walgreen and manufacturer's . In an accident like that, you have no time to go to the store. Besides, the saline solution will further burn. Do as I directed.and what your mom just did. Report It

Reply:If you don't believe me; post the question in the internet. I'm sure the consensus will be similar to mine. Report It

Reply:Immediately wash her eyes with fresh water for 15 minutes. Do not use Visine. it will just make her eyes more irritated and reddened.





The following is from the manufacturer's themselves; Walgreen . com and Epinions.com: Pine Sol is an eye irritant.








First Aid:


If in Eyes - Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Do not rub. If irritation persists, call the Doctor.





The action your mom took was very good. If the redness perist; she can use Tear-isol solution or Refresh. They are less irritating and soothing. If she can get surgilube oint;( hosp uses this all the time as an eye moisturizer during surgery and comatose pts. that would also help.
Reply:Don't see a doctor, see an optometrist. Try to get her to see them today or her eyes may get worse.
Reply:Flush with cool water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eyelids open if necessary. Then head for a doctor or the ER.





Waiting is risky, and you get one pair of eyes for life. Artificial eyes don't see.
Reply:flush out your eye balls
Reply:Tortor is right! See an optometrist because a regular MD will not have the eqipment to fully diagnose the severity of the eye problem. Even if it's after hours you may still want to call an eye doctor. Many will see a patients after hours, especially for something like Pine-sol in the eye. Many people have the misconception that battery acid in the eye is worse than a household product in the eye. This is NOT true. Many household cleaners are basic solutions(referring to the pH), and bases are much worse in the eye than battery acid. Please call the eye doctor and explain what has happened and let him(or her) make the call.
