I got an extremely small amount of ultrasound gel in mt eye a few hours ago...was not near a sink...help.?

Question

Hello,

Earlier today, while doing physical therapy, a small amount of ultrasound gel (just a drop or two) got into my eye. I was not near a sink, and it has been a few hours since it happened. I was not able to wash my eye out. It never really stung, but my eye is dry right now.

The gel is Parker Labs Aquasonic 100 Blue Ultrasound Gel, 8.5 oz.

Would it make any difference to wash my eye out now? Do you think I'll be OK? Am I just overthinking it?

Answer 1

You'll be OK, just rinse the eye out under clean water.  You can also put some eyedrops in if you have some.  That will relief the irritation.
