[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) Checked with my wife who is an optometrist, and she said cornea. Edit: She added, "cornea has more nerve endings" Edit 2: She also added that the inside of your eyelid is a mucus membrane, so soap is no more irritating to it than it would be to the inside of your mouth. permalink fedilink source
