Is it dangerous to get 75 proof alcohol in your eyes?



75-degree alcohol in the eye can be harmful to the health of the eye, but it is generally not harmful as long as it is treated in a timely manner.

75 degrees of alcohol, if direct contact with the eye corneal tissue or conjunctival tissue, is likely to lead to epithelial tissue damage, causing eye congestion, redness, pain, photophobia, tearing and other symptoms.

If timely treatment is provided, rinsing the eyes with plenty of water and administering medication to promote corneal repair, such as calf serum deproteinized extract ophthalmic gel and recombinant human epidermal growth factor eye drops, the damaged epithelium can be repaired without serious consequences.

If left untreated, there is a risk of infection due to damage to the local defense barrier.

Alcohol in the eye, to the nearest regular hospital in a timely manner.
