00:00Sparkling clean! That's what we want to achieve in our bathrooms.

00:13But what if when you clean your bathroom, you're in danger?

00:19What if when you clean your bathroom, you're in danger?

00:31Tough, persistent, and persistent in life.

00:44That's how 27-year-old Tiffany, who works for a BBO company, would describe herself.

00:53She dreams of giving her family a comfortable life.

00:59But her dream is fading away.

01:07Her right eye is almost blind.

01:14Because of the accident, I lost my right eye.

01:20She was cleaning her bathroom when a chemical bottle fell.

01:29The reason for this is that it splashed on her right eye.

01:35The accident happened on January 31, 2024.

01:41When I was cleaning the bathroom, the chemical bottle fell.

01:46It suddenly hit my right eye.

01:50The problem is that she was not wearing PPE or personal protective equipment.

01:57That's why the chemical went straight into her right eye.

02:02When it splashed on my eye, I was in intense pain.

02:07At that time, I was in a panic.

02:10I was wondering what was going to happen to my right eye.

02:15Even though she felt the pain, she immediately soaked her eyes with water.

02:26My brother immediately took me to the hospital.

02:32When I arrived at the hospital,

02:36while the doctor was waiting for me, he took me to the sink.

02:42He also soaked my eyes with water.

02:46After the doctor arrived, he irrigated my eyes.

02:51The doctor prescribed eye drops and pain relievers

02:57to alleviate the pain she felt.

03:01After I arrived at the hospital, my eyes turned all white.

03:10At first, I could still see the colors.

03:15But now, I can only see hand motions.

03:20Chemical eyeburn is one of the most dangerous eye emergencies.

03:26When she burns her eyes, she eats the part that hit her.

03:33The lower part of the eye will continue to melt if there are chemicals left on it.

03:39What is really scary is that it can affect the eyes.

03:46It can cause pain such as glaucoma and cataract.

03:51The parts of your eyes that can be damaged by chemical eyeburns,

03:57especially the outer part of your eyes,

04:00such as your skin, eyelids, and eyeball, can be damaged.

04:06According to the expert,

04:08chemical eyeburns can cause redness and burning sensation.

04:14At first, you will feel pain.

04:18You will cry.

04:20Your eyes will become blurry.

04:22You will cry a lot.

04:24Later on, you will feel heavier because your eyes are getting heavier.

04:31Tiffany's work was affected because of the accident.

04:36Because of the accident, I stopped working.

04:43Because of the eye surgery, I couldn't go back to work.

04:52In April 2024, Tiffany underwent a tarsotomy procedure

04:58where she lifted her lower and upper eyelids

05:02so that the eyelids wouldn't stick to her eyeball.

05:07I fixed my lower and upper eyelids

05:09because my eyelids got affected

05:13because the eyelashes on my cornea got stuck.

05:18Two months later, she underwent a buccal mucosa surgery

05:23where she took tissue from her lip

05:27to put it on her eyelid.

05:30At first, I put amnion grafts

05:34to protect my cornea so that it wouldn't get holed.

05:36I fixed my lower eyelids again

05:39because after the eyelid surgery, it still got stuck.

05:45Even if your eyes are affected by a chemical accident,

05:50according to an expert,

05:52it is better to remove the water immediately.

05:55Immediately and for a long time.

05:58It's not that you remove it once and it's over.

06:00You should do it continuously for 15 to 20 minutes.

06:03Cover the affected eye with clean gauze

06:06and bring the victim to the nearest hospital.

06:10If there's an infection,

06:12you need to take care of it.

06:14If there's a bruise or damage,

06:16or if you need to operate on it,

06:18it's better to do it immediately.

06:22In order to avoid this kind of accident,

06:25it's better to properly clean the chemicals

06:28and place it in a safe place

06:30in your homes.

06:32It's very, very important

06:34to use protection.

06:36Usually, you'll notice that those who clean in the bathroom

06:39wear gloves, thick rubber gloves.

06:41Wear goggles.

06:43If you're cleaning,

06:45if there's a single drop of acid or alkali in your eyes,

06:48it can affect your eyes for the rest of your life.

06:52For now, Tiffany is waiting for her schedule

06:55to operate on her cornea.

06:56That's why I'm doing these operations

06:59because I want to go back to my normal life.

07:02I want to go back to work

07:04and I want to go back to my vision.

07:10Our own home

07:12can be affected by an accident.

07:14So, don't be too sure and be careful.

07:18For an accident,

07:20it's clear that it can be avoided.
