A mild saline solution is generally the best, as it will not irritate like plain water. If you get acid in your eyes, flush with a mild solution of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) if it is available. If a strong base is the irritant, a few drops of lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a cup of water may help neutralize it. Do not overdo the flushing or you can further irritate the eyes.

You should always consult a medical professional whenever your eyes have been exposed to harsh chemicals or fumes, especially if a burning sensation continues or redness persists.
