New designs of eye wash stations have been developed in which the direction of water flow from the fountain has been reversed, with two water streams originating nasally in both eyes and flowing toward the temporal side of each eye. No study has been done to determine the ideal direction of water flow coming from the eye wash in relation to the eye.
Ophthalmic eye examinations were conducted before and after the use of two eye wash stations with opposite water flow directionality. Fluorescein was instilled in both eyes before using an eye wash to measure the effectiveness of the water flow. Subjects were surveyed upon their experiences using the eye washes.
Ophthalmic examination found no significant difference in the efficacy of the eye washes with nasal-to-temporal water flow when compared to temporal-to-nasal water flow direction.
已经开发出了新型洗眼器设计,其中来自喷头的水流方向已被反转,双眼均有两股水流从鼻侧起始并流向每只眼睛的颞侧。尚未进行研究来确定洗眼器流出的水流相对于眼睛的理想方向。
在使用水流方向相反的两种洗眼器之前和之后进行眼科检查。在使用洗眼器之前向双眼滴入荧光素以测量水流的有效性。对受试者使用洗眼器的体验进行了调查。
眼科检查发现,与从颞侧到鼻侧的水流方向相比,从鼻侧到颞侧的水流方向的洗眼器在功效上没有显著差异。
