Q: What should I do if sand gets in my eyes?
A: Do NOT rub your eyes! Blink rapidly, rinse with clean water or saline solution, and use artificial tears to flush out debris. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
PUBLIC ADVISORY from the Philippine Academy of Ophthalmology: Beware of unproven eye medicine, eye drops, and eye devices being peddled as cure-alls. Consult your ophthalmologist for proper eye care.
