What's "napuwing"?

Ira

If a foreign body gets into your eyes, simply flush your eyes with clean water (a liter of bottled distilled water) or have someone do it for you. Don't poke at your eyes with your fingers.

Doc Ira,

how about blinking until the foreign objects moves to the side, where i can fish it out safely? i always do the blinking thing and it always works for me.

is this bad?

Ira

Not at all, although it's a lot more hygienic (and ergo safer) if you just flush the object out with sterile water like bottled ones, instead of using non-running tap water.

Ira

It's not really bad, but sometimes if you have a hard foreign object on your eye and you blink for it to move, the trail it passes through on the way to your medial canthus (the side) might be scratched and injured. It's still better to wash it off. However, if it's something like muta or eyelash lang, that's okay. That's the purpose of blinking.

adlaw

thank you!

Doc Ira, ako kasi ginagawa ko: soak my eyes(as in my whole face) in a tub full of H2O until mawala yung foreign object!
..... masama ba to?

...clean H20 naman gamit ko (not hygienic?.... )

As long as your water supply is pottable (meaning, no E. coli or other bacterial sources, can be used as a drink), then it's okay.
