Hello. I'm in the middle of doing world building and plot research for a seven book series. In book five, my main character is a young Brazilian girl who falls in love with a boy who is completely wrong for her but does not see it. Her parents tell her to break it off with him but she refuses because she thinks he loves her. Her boyfriend turns violet and possessive and during one scene, throws acid on her eyes and face in the middle of a fight then beats and rapes her in rage. The acid turns my character, Annika, blind and leaves her extremely disfigured. I see her in my head with melted skin on her face, like a burn victim, and bald spots in her hair.
My question is, what type of acid would do that to her? Does anyone know? The most important part of the plot is to have her become blind. If someone has acid thrown in their eyes, will it be possible (depending on how strong the acid is) for them to regain their eyesight in time? will they become completely blind or be able to see as if through fogged glass? I don't know much about this type of thing, so any suggestions on what to do would be great!
