Visual acuity should be assessed to determine any changes in vision. Presence of pain, blurred or halo vision, or lack of vision should be assessed to determine the severity of the injury. The type of chemical should be determined to guide treatment. Presence of contacts or use of eyeglasses should be assessed to determine if they need to be removed before flushing the eye. Presence of nystagmus is not directly related to eye splashes and is not a priority assessment.
