For eye washes, clean, sterile water is the best choice. This can be achieved by using:
- Bottled water: Choose distilled or purified water, as these have fewer impurities.
- Boiled and cooled water: Boiling water for 1 minute kills most bacteria and then cooling it down makes it safe for eye use.
Important Note: Never use tap water directly for eye washes as it may contain harmful microorganisms.
Always consult a healthcare professional if you experience any eye irritation or discomfort.
