I thought I had picked up some eye drops when I actually had Antipyrine/Benzocaine and I put the drops in my eye. I tried washing my eye out with water, but it is burning and feels like I have rocks in my eye.
Antipyrine/Benzocaine - Accidently put in eye - what do I do?

Go to the er, they can flush your eye and give you something for the pain.
You can call poison control at 1-800-222-1222 and do what they tell you or better yet, go on into the ER for care. You could have a chemical burn on the cornea which will need to be treated.
DO NOT RUB YOUR EYE!!! With the benzocaine, your eye could be numbed and you could injure your eye badly and not know it!
