Question

What should I do if tea tree oil gets into my eye and causes blurry vision? Is it dangerous?

Answer

Based on the information you provided and the staff's reply, getting tea tree oil in your eye is considered dangerous.

You should immediately follow the staff's recommendation:

  • Use normal saline solution (available from pharmacies) to continuously rinse your eye to help wash out the tea tree oil.
  • If your vision remains blurry, please see a doctor immediately.

The duration for your vision to return to normal can vary depending on how much oil got into your eye and how your eye reacts. It's important to follow the rinsing instructions and seek medical attention if the blurriness persists, as advised by the staff.
