What Are the Immediate Management Steps for Toxic Eye Exposure?
Immediate management of toxic eye exposure focuses on decontamination and pain relief. The first step is often irrigation of the eye with copious amounts of water or saline to remove the toxic substance. This should be initiated as quickly as possible to minimize damage. After irrigation, pain management typically involves topical anesthetics and analgesics. In some cases, antidotes specific to the toxic agent may be required.
