ABSTRACT:
This is a handheld eye flushing apparatus that comprises an eyecup that holds eyewash liquid in it for eye flushing. The rim of the eyecup is contoured to the eye orbit and rests on the eye orbital area. Attached to the inside of the eyecup is a stirring mechanism that stirs the eyewash liquid during usage. The force and duration of the stirring is predetermined to prevent eye damage. This apparatus accommodates the free movement of the eyelids and the eyeball inside the eyecup during utilization. The rim of this eyecup may have a liner to further increase comfort and liquid sealing around the eye. A magnetic strip may be placed near the bottom part of the rim to catch ferrous metal particles in industrial environment usage. A grid may be added between the rim and the agitator to keep the user away from the agitator.
