Eye rinses - first aid for the eyes in an emergency
Eye drops are a blessing for dry eyes and people who stare at a screen a lot. But for people who need reliable first aid due to accidents with acids or alkalis, eye rinses are a tried and tested method in an emergency. If a person has got acids or alkalis in their eyes, they should first rinse them out with a pH-neutral product. The patient can then make their way to a doctor. For foreign bodies in the eyes, a 0.9 % sodium chloride solution, which corresponds to the natural salt content of the eye, is suitable.

In which emergencies does eyewash come to the rescue?
In emergencies where contaminants, acids, alkalis or lye get into the eye, eye rinses from Plum are useful. This applies in particular to products that are pH-neutral. Because if the eye comes into contact with an irritating liquid, immediate action is required. This is especially true when strong chemicals are involved. These have the ability to severely and permanently damage the cornea. This in turn results in permanent consequences that have a negative impact on vision. As a result, the principle applies: the quicker the eyewash is performed, the less likely it is to cause damage.
How are eyewashes used in an emergency?
As soon as unwanted particles land in the eyes, it is advisable to use an eyewash. Plum products contain sterile sodium. This in turn corresponds to the natural salt content of the eye fluid.
When using an eye wash, it is worth tilting your head back and holding it close to your eyes. This allows the solution to reach the eye safely. Eye wash bottles with an eye bath also achieve the desired effect because the liquid flows directly into the eye rather than beside it. Another trick that has proved successful in practice is to drip the rinse into the inner corner of the eye, as it then also flows into the eye and develops its effect there. Regardless of which option the patient chooses, it is important that they separate the upper and lower eyelids with their fingers. They then use the other hand to apply the rinse to their eye. Then press gently on the dosing bottle. The eye wash should be completely empty as it cannot be reused after opening.
