Hi Anne,
I would say it's "horses for courses," if you may need to respond to a
chemical splash or a burn to the eye then I would say that irrigating for 10
or 20 minutes using bottles would be less effective than tap water. But if
it's to irrigate out dust or other particulates eyewash bottles are useful.
I've always found the plumbed in stations adjustable for flow but the water
is usually freezing!

Subject: eyewash
hello, I want to canvas opinion on the use of eyewash bottles as opposed to
eyewash stations.
I have heard from some people that eyewash bottles are not effective and
that eyewash sprays should be used.
I have also heard that eyewash sprays can damage the eye.
I would appreciate any comments.
thanks
Anne Barnes
