Hair color in my eye, what should I do now?

Question

I was coloring my hair tonight & a drop of the color got in my eye. I flushed it out for a couple minutes with lukewarm water & put some eye drops in, is there something else I can do? I'm kinda worried, as could be expected.

Answer 1

What type of eye drops did you put in? You need to keep flushing it out with some saline solution so that it'll neutralize the acidity of the ammonia in the hair product. I would ask someone to flush off and on for about 15-20 minutes. If there's some blurriness or burning in the eyes shortly after. You need to go see a doctor right away.

Answer 2

Use some sailene (sp?) eye drops and flush it out more.

If you feel any stinging then go to the ER right away, you dotn want to go blind or something...

Answer 3

You shouldn't be worried.  It shouldn't be harmful but its still not a bad idea to wash it out.  If you start feeling pain though you need to contact your doctor.
