I hear afterward that pouring milk on your eyes helps neutralize the acid in the pepper spray. But I'm guessing anything really that is heavy alkaline would do they job.

I would suggest that you do NOT wear your contacts for that one event at your A school!

i want to get lasik so bad, but im not sure if there is anything you can really do before, its going to hurt like a bitch to no matter what, afterwards they have you wash your face and eyeballs with johnson & johnson no tears baby soap, it was decent, im sure there are better ways out there, but it helped.

There is no "making pepper spray easier". It doesn't work like that. Milk afterwards helps, they also make OC removal wipes, haven't tried them though so idk if they work. The point is, you're gonna get sprayed if you are an MA or if you do the FP Training (which not everyone does!!!!).

I've had the wonderful experience of being OCed twice in the past: once for certification in the academy, and once when I was wrestling a DUI suspect on a boat and my partner missed his target... full-force in the face; eyes and mouth open... and I still had an angry drunk guy I had to restrain on the bow of a 25ft power boat! It sucked! Best way to cope with it is to flush your face and eyes with water, and then stand in front of a fan and let it dry out... don't keep flushing your eyes because it'll just intensify again.
