00:00:00.607 --> 00:00:02.638
Sunscreen has got into your eye.

00:00:02.938 --> 00:00:04.996
Deal with the exposure first.

00:00:05.322 --> 00:00:08.312
Start rinsing promptly with plenty of comfortable-temperature

00:00:08.332 --> 00:00:11.043
water, and remove contact lenses.

00:00:11.450 --> 00:00:13.707
Finding a different sunscreen is a question for

00:00:13.727 --> 00:00:14.280
later.

00:00:15.050 --> 00:00:18.134
Poison Control advises fifteen to twenty minutes of

00:00:18.154 --> 00:00:20.119
irrigation for an eye exposure.

00:00:20.418 --> 00:00:23.582
Blink while rinsing and keep the flow gentle.

00:00:23.908 --> 00:00:26.965
A quick splash may not remove a water-resistant

00:00:26.985 --> 00:00:27.591
product.

00:00:28.345 --> 00:00:31.216
Severe pain or a change in vision needs

00:00:31.236 --> 00:00:32.202
urgent eye care.

00:00:32.515 --> 00:00:36.358
Symptoms that continue after rinsing also need assessment.

00:00:36.684 --> 00:00:39.488
Keep the product package so a clinician can

00:00:39.508 --> 00:00:42.086
identify exactly what entered the eye.

00:00:42.868 --> 00:00:46.245
Later, note whether the sting began during application,

00:00:46.557 --> 00:00:49.188
after sweating or after rubbing your eyes.

00:00:49.501 --> 00:00:52.292
List other products and contact-lens use.

00:00:52.592 --> 00:00:55.529
That history is more useful than guessing which

00:00:55.549 --> 00:00:56.794
ingredient caused it.

00:00:57.638 --> 00:01:00.509
Follow directions around the eyes and do not

00:01:00.529 --> 00:01:03.107
spray sunscreen directly onto the face.

00:01:03.419 --> 00:01:06.503
Keep residue away from contact-lens handling.

00:01:06.816 --> 00:01:10.086
No filter type or sensitive-skin label can promise

00:01:10.106 --> 00:01:11.672
comfort for every eye.

00:01:12.433 --> 00:01:16.142
If discomfort keeps recurring, discuss a suitable alternative

00:01:16.162 --> 00:01:18.806
with an eye-care professional or pharmacist.

00:01:19.119 --> 00:01:21.670
The full guide separates immediate first aid from

00:01:21.690 --> 00:01:24.454
changes to application and product choice for your

00:01:24.474 --> 00:01:25.627
next outdoor day.
