 But if you actually end up having an accident with a firework, do not rub your eye. Do not touch your eye. Do not put any eye drops or ointment in your eye. Do not take aspirin or ibuprofen or any blood thinner if an accident happens because it can cause bleeding inside the eye. If something actually goes in your eye, don't try to take it out. Essentially, just leave the eye alone and get immediate medical attention.
