An eye wash helps you to rinse and refresh your eyes. In this section of the SMEYEL knowledge base, we explain what eye washes and eye baths are, what people use them for and how to use them hygienically. They are practical aids for anyone who wants to clean their eyes regularly.
An eye wash, also known as an eye bath, is a small container or bottle used to rinse the surface of the eye with a suitable solution. People use an eye wash, for example, to rinse dust, grit or other particles out of the eye, or to refresh tired eyes after a long day. The rinsing solution is intended to clean the surface of the eye, not to treat a condition.
Hygiene is essential when rinsing your eyes. Wash your hands before you start, use a clean eye wash and a suitable, sterile solution, and rinse according to the instructions for use. Clean the container after use and leave it to dry. This will prevent you from introducing dirt or bacteria into your eye via the device itself.
