Suggest Treatment For Contact Of Amyl Nitrate In Eyes

default
Posted on Sat, 4 Oct 2014
Question: Good morning.
I accidentally poured some poppers (amyl nitrate) into my right eye yesterday. I immediately went into the bathroom and splashed cold water repeatedly into my eye for about 5 minutes. i then used eye drops and kept dosing to keep the eye watery and hep flushing away the poppers. Today my eye looks a little bloodshot but there is no pain.
Should I do anything else?
Thanks you

Hello,

I feel nothing else is needed.Just keep watch on symptoms.

Continue eyedrops, hope these are antibiotic drops with mild steroid.

Any undue symptoms crop up , rush to ophthalmologist.But dont feel you will have to.
