What to Do for Chlorine-Burned Eyes
- 1). Remove contacts from your eyes immediately if they are in your eyes during chlorine exposure. If you wear eyeglasses, remove those as well.
- 2). Go to a sink or water fountain and rinse your eyes with lukewarm water. Continue rinsing for 15 minutes. If the first 15 minutes of rinsing does not bring relief, continue applying lukewarm water to your eyes for an additional 15 minutes.
- 3). Lift your eyelids during rinsing to flush out your entire eye. Discontinue rinsing after a maximum of 30 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately if the water fails to relieve your burning eyes or if you have blurred vision.
