The sea remains salty due to the continuous process of erosion and weathering of rocks on land, which release minerals, including salts, into rivers that eventually flow into the ocean. While water evaporates from the surface of the sea, leaving the salts behind, this process does not remove the dissolved salts themselves. Additionally, volcanic activity and hydrothermal vents contribute further salts to the ocean. Thus, the balance of salt input from land and geological sources, combined with the evaporation of water, keeps the ocean salty.

Why is the lake salty?

The short answer is it's the salt. But I think what you're really asking is how did it get so salty. As fresh water flows through the continents, it picks up salt from the minerals. Then that is dumped into the ocean basin when the water gets to the sea. The water evaporates and returns as rain water, but the minerals stay behind. So after a long time, you get an accumulation of salt in the ocean.

How is the water in your eye made of sea water?

It's not technically "sea water" but the water in your eye is somewhat salty - which is why eyedrops are not made of straight water but a salty mixture that mimics that in your eye.
