Patients can use water to rinse the conjunctival sac to flush out the toothpaste that has entered the eye and relieve the discomfort.
Patients may also use medications such as tobramycin eye drops as prescribed to prevent infection. If the patient has eye surface damage, the patient can follow the doctor’s instructions to use recombinant human epidermal growth factor eye drops and other drugs to promote the repair of eye damage.
It is recommended that patients who have toothpaste in their eyes seek prompt medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow doctor’s instructions for treatment.
