What to do if you get xylene in your eyes

When xylene gets into the eyes, the patient should immediately flush the eyes with large amounts of running water or saline, go to the hospital for treatment immediately after emergency treatment, and use medication as prescribed by the doctor. Xylene is an irritating chemical, and when it is accidentally splashed into the eyes, the patient should immediately flush the eyes with running water or saline. Flushing should be done to ensure that it is thorough, and the eye can be cleaned by gently pulling up the eyelid and rotating the eyeball with the hand, and rinsing should take as long as possible, more than 15 minutes. To ensure the safety of the eye, the patient needs to go to the hospital for examination after the emergency treatment. If the patient’s corneal epithelium is damaged, the patient can follow the doctor’s instructions to use recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor eye drops and other drugs to promote the repair of corneal damage, but also to use tobramycin eye drops, etc., to prevent infection. It is recommended that patients who have gotten xylene in their eyes seek prompt medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow their doctor’s instructions for treatment.
