How To Cure Pain And Watering From The Eyes With Burning Sensation?

My husband is a hot-tar roofer and is suffering from pitch burns to his eyes. Aside from flooding his eyes with water and putting in moisturizing eye drops, is there anything that can bring him some relief until he can get some ointment prescribed by his doctor?

Hello,

He can use Refresh tears eye drops, 1 drop 4 times a day. That should give hime symptomatic relief until he gets to consult an ophthalmologist. He can use eye protective glasses with UV protection.
