I got nail polish remover in my eye?

Question

it was very little just a drop

at first i didnt do anything except splash a little water

then after ten minutes it started to hurt

and then i read somewhere that i might get blind

so then i put a lot of water

and now it hurts like crazy and i have to keep my eye closed....help

is there anything else besides water

i know the blind thing is a little dramatic but are there going to be any long term side effects

Answer 1

well, ur reading and typing w/o typos, so you'll probably be fine, but cold water for 15 mins (everything always says that), and call the nurse hotline (# on medical card), they will ask you questions and will tell you everything to do.

Answer 2

If you have any eyedrops such a visine or something I would like drown your eye in it to try and wash the nail polish remover out. I would also call a doctor or even like the person above said poison control. This is random but in my science class we took nail polish remover and put milk cartons in it and it turned it to liquid so...that stuff is a pretty strong chemical...

Answer 3

go to the emergency room.  really, because acetone is the main ingredient in nail polish remover and it can dissolve fingerprints from your skin.  just think what it could do to the cornea of your eye. it is much better to be safe than sorry, especially when comes to something as delicate as your eyesight

Answer 4

just keep getting water on your eyes and maby it will feel better call a docter

Answer 5

Our bodies can take a lot! Don't worry. It is a tiny drop. Do keep rinsing with loads of water. Water is the only thing you should use now: I do not know how or if other fluids will react with the remover.
