A member asked:
Can the chlorine in a pool damage our eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pool: The chlorine does cause a low grade chemical conjunctivitis which resolves on its own after about a day. If you plan to open your eyes under water, wear goggles, and definitely do not wear contact lenses. Take care.
