Start eating carrots for eye health. Virender Kumar Bhatia. Nature has assured enough tears and frequent blinking to keep the eyes clean. So you can just have a try. And generally speaking, we have known that people are born with some different eye color, and the color will not change. Lemon is acid, so it may burn your eyes if you drop lemon juice in eyes directly. Since your eyes are very vulnerable and sensitive, so when lime juice enters your eyes, you may feel pain.

As long as lime splashes to your eyes, they must water immediately. All you have to do is to wash your eyes as soon as possible to get the lime juice out of your eyes. Symptoms may include blurred vision, stinging, burning, pain, tearing, discharge, or redness among others. Hot liquids such as the spaghetti sauce you mentioned or others such as grease or oil can cause heat injury that can damage the front surface of the cornea. Two factors determine how much damage a foreign liquid can cause.

Examples of acidic liquids include lemon juice or grapefruit juice. Acidic splashes can be toxic to the ocular surface of the eye but typically do not penetrate the eye or cause damage to the deeper eye layers.

Raw chicken juice, while moderately acidic, also contains the bacteria listeria which is one of the few that can bypass through one of the primary eye defenses, an intact cornea, and cause infections. Lemon juice in eye can be dangerous, especially if it is done consistently and on purpose.

Bear in mind that some risks you run by putting lemon juice in your eye, whether diluted or undiluted, may never be able to be reversed. While lemon juice eyes can damage the surface layers of your eye, it typically does not do damage to the deeper layers of the eye to cause blindness, especially when exposure is limited and accidental. However, persistent, ongoing, purposeful and undiluted lemon juice placed directly in the eye over a long period of time is bound to create issues, one of which may be blindness, in severe cases.

If you accidentally splash lemon juice in your eye while in the kitchen, remain calm. Irrigate your eyes using clean water and consider getting kitchen goggles to guard against such happenings. If your eyes continue to burn for a long period of time, you experience swelling or your vision has been impaired, seek the help of a healthcare professional, right away.

These claims hinge upon the fact that lemon juice is antibacterial and antiseptic, which is why it is so often used for cleaning. And while it is true that lemon juice offers a host of benefits for the body and for disinfecting purposes, the truth is that lemon juice is highly acidic making it an unfit candidate to be squeezed into the eye. No one should ever squeeze an acid of any sort, natural or unnatural, into the eye in an effort to rid their eye of problems.

Because lemon juice is an acid, it will change the color of your eyes, but maybe not in the way that you want. Likely, your eyes will turn bright red from having put undiluted, or sometimes even diluted, lemon juice in your eye causing the white part of your eye to become irritated and inflamed. If you are interested in lightening your eye color, never use lemon juice to do so.

Make note that there is no research that indicates that pouring lemon juice of any kind in your eye while causing your eyes to change color, and you are likely causing permanent damage to your eyes that cannot be reversed.
