Acid is actually more dangerous.,especially in eyes.

I havent experienced either, but everything I've read seems to indicate
alkalis are much worse for eyes. Acid results in instant action and
surface damage. Alkali in the eye can be so innocuous at first that no
action gets taken, but it will eat right into the eyeball gradually,
and do major damage.

Caustic should be taken seriously re eye damage imho.

Mine too. I've only had 20 years experience as a doctor in Accident &
Emergenccy, so YMMV...
