text: what do i do if chemicals or lemon juices get into my eye? how do i treat it? any good websites?   contact poison control!  my chemistry teacher told us that, if we ever got anything in our eyes, we had to continuously flush clean water into our eyes for fifteen minutes. yes, that long (the water needs that amount of time to completely dilute the chemical and get it out of your eye). the eyes must stay open and don't rub. if you have contact lenses in, you must remove them before you flush your eyes with water.
