You can clean your dirty eyes with a few simple methods:
- Use a clean washcloth: Dampen a clean washcloth with warm water and gently wipe your closed eye from the inner corner to the outer corner. Repeat this process as needed.
- Use a cup of lukewarm water: Create a cup with your hands and fill it with lukewarm water. Rest your eye in the water and blink repeatedly. The water will help flush out dirt and debris.
- Flush your eye with sterile eye wash: Purchase an over-the-counter sterile eye wash and follow the instructions on the bottle.
- Lower your face into a pan of clean water: If you have a foreign object in your eye, you can lower that side of your face into a pan of clean water and open and close the eye repeatedly.
It is important to note that if you experience any pain, irritation, or vision changes after trying to clean your eyes, you should consult with an eye doctor immediately.
