* Flush Immediately and Thoroughly: Use cool, clean water to flush your eye for at least 15-20 minutes. Hold your eyelid open to ensure the water gets behind the lid. You can do this in the shower, over a sink, or using a clean cup or eye-wash bottle.
* Remove Contact Lenses: If you wear contact lenses, remove them as soon as possible after flushing your eye.
* Do not rub your eye.
* Seek medical advice: If the pain, irritation, burning, or vision changes do not resolve shortly after flushing your eye, contact your doctor or go to the emergency room.
The extent of the injury will depend on the type of hair dye, how much got into your eye, and how quickly you flushed it out. It is always best to seek the help of a medical professional.
