I accidentally got some chemicals in my eye, and I'm not sure what to do. It makes sense that this could be considered an emergency! I'll be sure to go to an urgent care to help me out with this.

I got some dust in my eye by mistake, and I'm not sure what to do. It's understandable that this would be regarded as an emergency! I'll make an appointment with an urgent care centre to get some assistance with this.
