Proper treatment when unfortunately being shot by lemon juice can help you avoid unnecessary damage.

In the kitchen of each family, lemon is a familiar ingredient and is used regularly in cooking. However, a small incident that many people encounter when squeezing lemon is the sudden juice shot into the eyes. This will bring a sense of burning, stinging very uncomfortable.

Is lemon juice really dangerous to the eye?

According to Dr. Vijay Parbatani, an ophthalmologist at Manipal Hospital (India), the cause of discomfort is due to high acidic lemon juice.

When exposed to the eyes, it can cause a burning feeling, red eyes, tearing, even temporary blurred vision.

Although most cases are not dangerous and the irritation will decrease after a few minutes, this feeling still makes many people bewildered and handled in the wrong way, sometimes making the situation worse.

What to do when lemon juice shot into the eyes?

Dr. Parbatani recommends that the first thing to do is wash your eyes immediately with clean, cool water for a few minutes to dilute and remove acid.

During washing, you should blink constantly to let the water penetrate deeper into the inside, helping to clean better.

- Do not rub eyes because this action can cause corneal damage and increase inflammation.

- Do not use unclean towels or water to wipe the eyes because it is easy to cause infection.

- Do not ignore the pain that lasts if the pain continues or shows signs of blurred vision. You need to be physiologically small and see a specialist in time.

Wrong habits to avoid

One of the common errors when this accident is to rub their eyes immediately because of instinct. However, this only makes the lesions worse.

In addition, using unclean handkerchiefs or ignoring the happening symptoms may increase the risk of eye infections.

How to effectively prevent

When squeezed lemon, should turn the piece of lemon away from the face and perform gentle operation.

You can cover your eyes or wear protective glasses if necessary, especially when squeezing more lemon at once.

Lemon squeezing tools are a safer option, helping to limit direct contact with lemon juice and reduce the risk of water shot into the eyes.

Lemon juice shot into the eyes is a fairly common kitchen accident, although not serious danger but still need to handle properly to avoid unwanted complications.

Always be careful when using lemon and remember the first aid instructions to protect your eyes in the best way.
