Question: What chemical is worse to get in the eye, an acid or base?
Answer: Base chemicals (high pH) are worse for the eye. Acids tend to denature proteins and thus limit spread, but bases keep on going … and going … and going … which explains the need for copious irrigation with any chemical injury to the eye.

I’ve seen pictures of people’s eye dissolving and drooping out of their socket due to a basic Chemical that accidently came in touch with the eye.
So yes base chemicals are far worse
