Why is it necessary to rinse eyes for 15 minutes after getting a chemical in? Wouldn’t 1 minute be enough?

Optometrist here… you technically have to rinse until the pH is back to neutral. You keep going until it reaches close to 7. 15min is just a good starting point. Bases/acids penetrate the cornea so why stop every minute to check? Better to just keep on rinsing.
