whats the best way to clean you eye?

It depends if it feel sharp or not. If it feels sharp you want to skip this first part.

Close your eyelid. Place your fore finger flat across your eye above the lash line and wipe in a downwards motion. Open your eye and press your fingertip semi-firmly underneath your tear-duct, finger parallel to your cheek, and wipe outwards sweeping directly beneath the lower lash line. Keep going until you almost reach your temple. The fluid on the eye & motion should force it to the outer corner of the eye. Repeat 1-2x if necessary.

Second option is an eye bath. If you don't have an eyewash cup those little medicine cups work ok. You need something bigger than a shot glass but smaller than a coffee mug but use whichever recepticle you can as long as it's clean. Fill with temperate water. Lean forward and place the rim so it sits flush with your nose and press gently against your cheek and around the outer corner of your eye. Slowly tip the cup til it covers your eye and blink 4-5x. Lean forward and remove. This can be repeated but anymore than 3x and I'd assume it somehow stuck and ask for assistance.
