Does Exposure To Salty Water Damage The Eyes?
Hi, I am a performance artist looking to do a project that involves exposing my eyes to the very salty water of the Dead Sea in Israel for up to 15 minutes. I am aware that it is going to hurt - a lot - but I would like to ask you, will it actually cause damage to my eyes?
