The correct approach to eye irrigation involves allowing the fluid to flow from the inner canthus (near the nose) outward to the outer canthus. This helps prevent the spread of contaminants from one area of the eye to another or to the opposite eye. Incorrect options, such as flushing toward the inner canthus or directly onto the cornea, increase the risk of spreading infections or causing additional irritation to sensitive structures of the eye.
