A member asked:

Wash my eyes with high pressure water of tap everyday. can it make me blind?i can see clearly right now. will i be ok if i i leave this practice now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely: Yes, likely. There is nothing sterile about tap water. It's also not a good lubricant. For chemical injuries to the eyes, a rapid water flush is advisable. Eyes are self cleaning for the most part. You may lubricate, cleanse the eyelid margins with appropriate eyelid hygiene (OcuSoft lid wipes), and rinse with approved EyeWash for ridding debris. Not a good practice to use your technique.
