I accidentally splashed paint thinner in my eye earlier. I flushed my eye as best as I could but now its sore and irritated. Need eye drops but I just heard thunder outside
Why were you painting your eyes?
I wasn't :laugh. I was trying to clean the remnants of paint off my kitchen sink because I wash the paint brushes in there. The thinner came in goop form in a can with a rubbery pull tab to get it open, I pulled the tab off and an inch thick chunk of goop stuck to it flew up into my eye. I was seriously panicking at first because I thought my eyesight was done for, but the sink was right there so I was able to flush my eye immediately.
Today my eye is still swollen, red and weeping mucus, but at least I can see.
On the upside I regained my composure, was able to clean the sink with the thinner and a bit of barkeeper's friend and now it's sparkling.
