blinking.

unless there is a foreign object or chemical splash in the eye, to do otherwise is unnecessary and can be dangerous.

hence the expression 'a load of eyewash'



There are eyewash kits available at pharmacies for help in removing a foreign object stuck in the eye.

Aside from that , which would be a rare thing to happen , eye washing should NOT be done.

Our tears are there to do the job of cleaning and lubricating the eyes and even fight infection.

Washing the eyes with water or anything else is only disrupting the natural tear film that should be there all the time.

Even on the eyewash kits from the pharmacy , it says NOT for continual or even frequent use.
