FIRST AID Advice - Foreign Object Under Upper Lid

FIRST AID Advice - Foreign Object Under Upper Lid

  • If particle cannot be seen, it's probably under the upper lid, the most common hiding place.
  • Try to open and close the eye several times while it is submerged in a pan or bowl of water.
  • If this fails, pull the upper lid out and draw it over the lower lid. This action, and your tears, will sometimes dislodge the particle.
