There is a can of hair spray next to him on the floor. A young man is fixing a car. He disconnects a fuel line and the gasoline sprays him in the face. Mrs. Jones is distracted by the doorbell and accidently gets a shot of oven cleaner in her eyes. If you guessed the oven cleaner, you guessed correctly.
Many oven cleaners can cause burns to the eye.
Gasoline and hair spray may be irritating but often do not cause serious damage. Always call the Poison Center to identify the harmful potential of the substance involved. The extent of injury to the eye also depends on the duration of the exposure. Substances that are relatively harmless may cause serious damage if not promptly removed from the eyes using an effective technique. If you are wearing contact lenses, remove them immediately.
