Eyewash Fountain

  • If you get something from the lab in your eye-
    • GET IT OUT IMMEDIATELY!
    • Don't wait until lunch or the last period!
  • Run some water through the eyewash fountain before you use it.
  • Retract your eyelid (hold it open);
  • Don’t squint your eyes as this restricts water access.
  • Run fresh water over your eye for several minutes.
    • If the water at your school is COLD
    • Wash your eyes INTERMITTENTLY
    • Rest in between rinses.
  • Go to the school nurse immediately afterward.
