Can dish soap cause damage in your eye that would take a long time to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely: I injuries from dish soap can be very dangerous. Many dish soaps ar alkaline(opposite of acid) and can cause severe and permanent damage to the eye. It is important to get it addressed immediately and wash out with exposure and then follow-up with an opthomolgist.
