An eye rinsing device comprising an eye opening device for opening an eye with an upper eyelid and a lower eyelid such that the eye can be rinsed,
- wherein the eye opening device comprises two wing-like spreading elements for pulling the upper eyelid and the lower eyelid of the eye apart so as to support the opening of the eye during a rinsing process,
- wherein the wing-like spreading elements are configured such that two access gaps for allowing an access to the eye during the rinsing process are formed laterally between the wing-like spreading elements;
- wherein the eye opening device comprises a cap-like portion, said cap-like portion comprising at least one rinsing opening for letting rinsing fluid pass towards an eye to be rinsed,
- wherein each wing-like spreading elements has a first end area being attached to the cap-like portion and a second end area comprising a free end of the wing-like spreading element,
- wherein the first end area and/or the second end area are configured in a curved way,
- wherein the width of each wing-like spreading element in the second end area is greater than the width of the wing-like spreading element in the first end area and/or the width of the wing-like spreading element in a middle area of the wing-like spreading element, and
- wherein each wing-like spreading element comprises a furthest point in the second end area being furthest away from the first end area of the respective wing-like spreading element, said furthest point not being the free end of the wing-like spreading element.
