Let’s find out. You pour a toxic chemical into your eyes, and we’ll ask a few other people to do the same thing. Each person will flush their eyes with water for a different length of time. Some will do it for what you suggest, 1 minute. Others will do it for 5 minutes. Others will rinse for 10 or 15 minutes. Who do you think has a better chance of going blind? That’s why.
