Is it bad for my healthto put water in my eye?

Not really, but..: Tears is best for your eyes. Water will not directly damage your eyes (you swim, don't you?), but you will be depriving your eyes of all the good stuff thats in your natural tears, and eventually this may cause a chronic problem if you don't allow your tears to moisturize your eyes. So for short period of times, no.
