First aid for chemical eye injuries involves immediately flushing the affected eye with clean, lukewarm water or saline solution for at least 15 minutes to dilute and remove the chemical. It's crucial to hold the eyelid open and ensure water flows from the inner corner to the outer corner to prevent further contamination. After rinsing, seek professional medical assistance promptly, even if symptoms seem to improve. Avoid using any ointments or medications unless directed by a healthcare professional.
