This fact sheet contains information on buffer solutions, how they work, and why they are better for eye irrigation.

I can testify to a positive experience with the Morgan Lens. Patient: myself. I had a patient who regurgitated the charcoal given to him for his OD, just after I had removed my protective face mask. I sustained an eyeful of activated charcoal. It was removed almost painlessly by several liters of N.S. irrigation via the Morgan Lens, much more easily than the "old way" of using fingers to open lids and squirting the eye.

The Morgan Lens is used in 90% of hospital emergency departments in the USA and can be inserted in less than 20 seconds. There simply is no other "hands-free" method of eye irrigation. Nothing else frees medical personnel to treat other injuries or to transport the patient while irrigation is underway. Nothing is more effective at treating ocular chemical, thermal, and actinic burns or removing non-embedded foreign bodies, even when the patient's eyes are closed tightly. Its design makes it simple and straightforward to use so minimal training is required.
