How to handle sand getting into a child’s eye
Sand getting into a child’s eye can cause the child to panic and feel afraid. However, it is not a case of emergency as first aid steps for treating children are similar to that for adults.
Ensure your child doesn’t touch the eye affected
The first step is to keep your child calm and remind them that rubbing the eye will only cause more pain. You should instruct them not to touch or scratch. Because it can be difficult for a child to adhere, it is best to wash their hands in case it does happen to help prevent irritation and other complications.
