First-Aid: Eye Care with Dust

Published by justin1390 at 11:37 pm under First-Aid Edit This

Unfortunately, eye problems are a big deal on the trail.  I remember trying to climb trees and getting bark dust in my eye on a hiking trip.  Luckily, I had my brother there to carefully remove the pieces of bark, but had I not, I would have been in trouble.  Now, there are a few things I carry with me whenever I hike to take care of these problems:

  • A mirror:  Just a mini one, but I have used it many times.
  • An eye cleaner solution, like what you use for contacts.
  • Tissue: To help remove dust when needed.

Although not by any means a comprehensive list, these will definitely help you a lot when you do need to take care of your eyes on the trails.
