I know lots of foods are acids and some alkalines but I don't know which ones would do the most harm if they got in to someone's eyes.

The foods that would do the most damage if they get in to someone's eyes are citric acids, like those found in lemons and oranges, as well as sodium chloride, found in table salt. Both are strong corrosives and can cause severe irritation or possibly blindness if there is prolonged contact with the eyes. Additionally, concentrated fruit juices and vinegars should be avoided at all costs due to their potential for doing serious harm if they get into one's eyes.

Foods that are particularly caustic when they come into contact with the eyes include tomatoes, lemons, oranges, limes and other citrus fruits. Additionally, highly acidic fruits such as cherries, guavas and apricots can be irritating to the eyes. In general, foods that are acidic or astringent should be avoided in order to prevent eye irritation.
