Chemical Burns and Other Caustic Substances in the Eye

What to Do for a Chemical Eye Injury?

If you work in an area that has caustic chemicals in the workplace, you may have the situation where you are injured with a chemical eye injury. A chemical burn can get into your eyes, if there are liquid or powdered chemicals that make contact with your eyes. Sometimes it can happen that a chemical is splashed onto your face, and makes contact with your eyes that way. Or you can have some exposure to a chemical on your hands, and you accidentally wipe your hands to your eyes and face. It can also happen that you have poisoning that is absorbed into your bloodstream from exposure to the eyes and nose, but this is a rare occurrence. If you have been splashed on the face and eyes by an acid or alkali chemical, you may risk vision loss as a result of exposure to these chemicals. It will be important to seek medical attention immediately, if you are exposed to chemicals that affect your eyes and your vision.
