– If given a tiny slit of entry, could water from shower head be able to enter the eye and cover its whole surface (under the lids)?

Hi everyone, just a question. Say for instance we get a low scale chemical (benzoyl peroxide) into the eyes but didn’t flush it well enough (opening the eye slightly when flushing). Does this have the potential to cause any damage long term, or just irritation?

On another note, are eyelids really that waterproof? If given a tiny slit of entry, can water (say a shower head) get behind the entire eyelid and potentially wash the entire surface?

Are eyelids perfectly water proof? No.

However, could your eye be satisfactorily flushed without fully opening your eye? Also no.

Could it have long term effects? Possibly.
