Question

 

 

Hi,

I moved to an apartment which the original tenant left in a hurry and the house is in horrible state hygiene wise.

When I was cleaning the apartment I accidentally sprayed surface cleanser towards my face, my glasses blocked the droplets for me but to be safe I still rinsed my eyes with eye drops and water from the sink afterwards.

Later on, I realized the water smells like sewage, which suggests there are bacteria built up in the sewage system. Please suggest what I should do to protect my eyes.

Thanks

Thanks for your Question

You shouldn't do any thing right now other than using dry eye drops from boots frequently, maybe 5-6 times a day. You might find over the counter Phenicol eye drops which might be helpful. Try to use it 2-3 times a day for 5 days.

However, if you noticed any eye discharge, eye pain or blurry vision you should be examined by an eye doctor.
