Basic first aid for this taught in nursing school: cover in sterile abdominal pad wetted with saline solution. Keep moist. Prepare for surgery.

Common enough that its taught in the basics and overall not a big deal. It's just that usually this sort of thing happens only in the hospital.

Yup. Which, didn’t mention the gauze because out and about, most people won’t have access to it (or sterile saline,)

I assume he had been given instructions on it, though.

Every first aid kit in a restaurant should have a bottle of saline and some gauze for treating burns and eye injuries. There will not, however, be anybody that knows how to use said first aid kit and the owners are unlikely to be very proactive in replacing supplies.
