  • Chemical burns can be very harmful to the eye. In this episode of A State of Sight, Isaac Porter, MD explains the different types of chemical burns and how they can be treated.
    It is important to flush the eyes for an extended period of time after a chemical exposure. Many work places that contain chemicals have an eye wash station that can be used to run streams of water into both eyes after an accident. It is important to keep the exposed eyes open in the water to dilute and remove the chemicals. After this, treatment in an emergency room or urgent care center may be necessary for significant burns. There, doctors will be able to assess the extent of the damage and can continue flushing the eyes if needed.
    There are special contact lenses designed to irrigate fluid into the eye and these may be needed in emergency treatment. A thorough eye exam can show the extent of the burn and initial treatment is usually to decrease inflammation and prevent infection. After healing takes place, surgery may be needed to restore vision or the surface of the eye.

    I suffer from health anxiety. I fear I might go blind from having shampoo in my eye to having gasoline in my eye. I immediately rinse my eyes out every time I feel anxious. My OCD controls my life and I just want peace of mind. Is there any way anyone can go blind forever because of a chemical burn to the eye? Are those cases awfully rare or are they highly common?

    Glad to know I'm not the only one. Well I not glad it happened to others but I'm glad someone can relate. I was reaching up for bleach and when I pulled it off a high shelf it came pouring in my face getting in my eyes. Someone fail to put the top on it. I'm having aches on the side of my eyes. I was wondering is aloe good for healing and the scratchy feeling?

    I was blowing off the top of batteries on my golf cart where there was some corrosion on the wires. I was using an air compressor nozzle. A small spec of something hit my right eye and I immediately ran inside and ran water. I don’t know if it was the corrosion or something else but I’ve been running the water off and on for 10 minutes. What signs do I need to look for if something is wrong or if I’m fine? It’s Saturday and every eye place is closed

    thank you for the response and her eye has been like that for 10 years but the eye doctors in her town wont take it serious and they are not doing nothing bout it and sence her cornea is burned what would be the best eye drops to cure her eye and if that don't work what would be the cost of her getting laser treatment

    I have had exposure to an alkali chemical. Sodium Hydrodide (caustic soda), It was a chemical used in cleaning air cooled condenser coils. The chemical had spilled in my eyes and on my body, Upon arrival at the hospital my eyes read a PH of 13 as I was in severe pain. I have a sever abrasion on the eyes and I wanted to know how long will it take to heal? Is this permanent?

    This literally happened to me hours ago I accidentally set the bottle of Clorox down in a perfectly flat way and it splashed up and out of the bottle right into my left eye. It was so precise in going up so high too. It hurts so bad I flushed it in the sink immediately, but my eye uncontrollably just stayed closed afterwards. I hate this feeling. I've got such an irritation and it looks like (when i look in the mirror) that a layer of my eye lense is peeled away. Like, it is still shiny but it looks kind of rough in texture as to what it should be, which is a smooth glossy look. Hope it gets better. Got a masssive headache too :(

    Hi, my eye was sprayed with gasoline almost 3 months ago. My left eye has been swollen since and increases with minimal touch. The swelling is under the eye lid with the corner area being the most sensitive. The gas was not completely rinsed for a few hours. Dr said 2 wait another month or 2. I'm scared. Any thoughts on what is going on?
