If something is stuck in an eye, the worst move is pulling it out. Your job is to protect and prevent movement until help arrives. Here’s how: • Don’t remove the object. Don’t apply pressure. • Stabilize with a rigid shield—paper cup with a hole works. • Cover BOTH eyes so they move together less. • Keep the person still and upright if possible. • Call 911. This is an emergency. Common places this happens: 🥽 Yard work without eye protection 🌲 Branches on the trail 🧰 Cutting, grinding, or drilling jobs Extra details: • No ointments, no rinsing, no “just a peek.” • Tape the shield to the brow/cheek, not across the lid. • If chemicals are involved and no object is embedded, flush for 15–20 minutes, then seek care. Shield, calm, transport. That’s the play. Be ready before it happens. The First Hour Matters Most. 👉 Tag a friend who does yard or shop work. #EyeSafety #FirstAid #InjuryPrevention #Preparedness #SafetyTips
