What happens if you get bleach in your eye?

Bleach or (most) other things in the eyes must be rinsed out immediately. It's a must. You absolutely must get to a doctor, but the first aid is lots and lots of water across the eyes. Now. It's first aid, isn't it? This is classic first aid. It is one of a number of things that allows immediate, non-professional intervention to execute the best option for damage control in a situation where life and/or health are at stake. Think about it like this. Picture a hospital custodial employee who was working in an ER lobby reaching down and picking up an open bottle of bleach. His finger slips out of the grip, and the bottle falls a foot or two to the floor to land on its bottom. Liquid bleach splashes up out of the bottle and hits the staffer in his eyes. This happens in an ER setting. A medical staffer (physician, nurse, nursing assistant - or another custodial staffer) will immediately get the individual to a sink and start running water to irrigate the eyes of the affected individual. Just like you would do. It's just that simple.
