Why does sea water hurt our eyes, but tears don’t?
In: Biology
If the salt concentration in the water is higher than in your eyes, water will get sucked out(to even out the salt concentration).
Your eyes dehydrate, which stings.
That is the same reason why you die of thirst faster when you drink seawater.
Instead of getting water in your body. The salty water will suck out(osmosis) more water on the way through your body. So you are losing water
