    First aid is crucial for eye injuries to prevent vision loss. For particles in the eye, blink and let the eye flush it out naturally, but seek help if it remains. Apply an ice-cold compress for 15 minutes to blows to reduce pain and swelling and see an eye doctor immediately if vision is blurred. Bandage lightly and seek immediate medical assistance for eye or lid cuts, but do not rub or apply pressure. For chemical burns, flush the eye continuously with clean water for 15 minutes while rolling the eyeball and do not use an eyecup or bandage; then get medical help. Most eye injuries can be prevented through caution.
