Why do sea turtles live in salt water if it burns their eyes?

Iroc24 asked:

This is an exact question from one of my students. We are posting from class.

The book we are reading discusses how Sea Turtles “cry” to clear the salt from their eyes.
I will be allowing my students to pick the best answer Monday in class. Please keep them coming. Thank you!
