Answer 5

When I was in the Service, I had a chemical detection kit explode in my face. Burned like crazy. Flushed my eyes almost immediately and was transported to ER. When I got there, they put me on a table, on my back, and tilted the table so that my head was down. With all the blood rushing to my Head, they forced these big disks under my eyelids. They had a hole in the middle of them. They ran a tube from an IV bag and attached it to the disks and flushed my eyes for about thirty minutes. It was a long thirty minutes. The damage to my eyes was minimal, but permanent.

Answer 6

Shampoo. That c**p stings for about 6hrs!

Answer 7

This one time I walked into a small little wind tornado thing and a piece of a leaf got into my eye and it felt like it was in there for hours and it was just a really annoying sharp pain.

Answer 8

splattered wet cement

Answer 9

"The Works" toilet bowl cleaner.  And that stuff is strong.

Stung for awhile, I got a wet washcloth and held it on my eye until the burning went away.

No problems.

Answer 10

A shard of glass.  A glass fell out of the cabinet and shattered everywhere and a small, sharp piece went straight in my eye.  I did not want to blink.  I was terrified.  I spit on my finger and put it up to my eye and that got it out.  Probably not the best move, but I got lucky and it worked.

Answer 11

the worst for me would be shampoo. i try to protect my eyes the best as possible. you only get one pair!
