If an injury to the cornea is suffered there are some very basic steps that can be taken as first aid. Firstly it is vitally important that any object stuck in the eye is not removed without professional medical assistance. The main step that should be taken before attending the emergency clinic is to flush the eye with cold water for about 15 minutes.
