眼睛裏進沙了怎麼辦?

Sand in the eye can be a painful experience that may lead to scratches on the eye (corneal abrasions) or an eye infection. A windy day or a sand-throwing incident at the beach can lead to sand in the eyes, and properly administering first aid is essential in order to lessen the chance of a serious eye injury or infection. When a foreign object enters the eye, profuse tearing results. Proper first aid for sand in the eye involves mimicking the natural tearing process by flushing the affected eye(s).
眼睛進沙是非常痛苦的，它會造成眼睛瘙癢（角膜擦傷）或眼部感染。一個颳風的日子或沙灘上一個飛沙事件都會造成眼睛進沙，爲了減少眼睛傷害或眼睛感染的機率，必須採取適當的急救措施。當一個外物進入眼睛，就會不停流淚。恰當的眼睛急救方法是通過沖洗受感染的眼睛，模仿自然的流淚過程。

1 Wash your hands using antibacterial soap. Clean the inside of an eye cup or a plain drinking cup using antibacterial soap. Rinse very thoroughly to remove all traces of the soap.
1 用抗菌肥皂洗手。使用抗菌肥皂清潔眼杯或普通的飲水杯的內部。非常徹底地清洗，消除肥皂的所有痕跡。

2 Fill the eye cup (or drinking cup) to the brim with room-temperature water. Bottled water is ideal, but if this is not available, allows the tap to run for a full minute before filling the cup (to avoid using water containing particles as a result of sitting in the pipes for an extended period of time).
2 將眼杯（或水杯）裝滿室溫的水。瓶裝水是理想的，但是如果沒有，裝水前讓水龍頭先開一分鐘（避免水管因長期堆積使飲用水中含有顆粒）。

3 Place the water-filled cup on a flat surface. Lower your face over the cup, immersing your affected eye inside the water.
3 將裝滿水的杯子放在一個平面上。把你的臉湊到杯子上，使受感染的眼睛在水中浸泡。

4 Blink your eye while it's immersed in the water to help flush away the sand particles. It usually takes 10 to 20 seconds of flushing to remove all sand particles, but you may flush the eyes for up to 15 minutes.
4 眼睛浸泡在水裏時要眨眼幫助衝去眼睛中的沙子。通常需要10至20秒才能沖洗掉所有的沙子，但是你可能要衝洗15分鐘以上。

5 Monitor for signs of eye infection for 48 hours after the sand is removed from your eyes. Any time a foreign object comes in contact with the eyes, there is a chance that an infection will develop. Signs of an infection include redness, swelling, pain/discomfort and eye discharge.
5 沙子從眼睛中去除之後48小時，要監控眼睛感染的症狀。一旦有外物接觸眼睛，就有可能會感染。眼睛感染的症狀包括紅、腫、疼痛/不適和眼睛有分泌物。
