How should you remove a gnat in your patients eye?

To remove a gnat from a patient's eye, first instruct them to avoid rubbing their eye to prevent further irritation. Rinse the eye gently with saline solution or clean water to flush out the gnat. If the gnat does not come out easily or if the patient experiences significant discomfort or vision changes, refer them to an eye care professional for further evaluation and treatment. Always ensure the patient is calm and provide reassurance throughout the process.
