• Remove contact lenses and irrigate exposed eyes with copious amounts of  0.9% saline or water at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. 
  • If irritation, pain, swelling, lacrimation, or photophobia persists after 15 minutes of irrigation, an ophthalmologic examination should be performed.
• Keep exposed eyes covered with wet dressings until definitive surgical removal of phosphorus can be accomplished.
