The eyes are considered the most sensitive part of our body. Many people have a habit that they keep touching their eyes all the time and rub them too. Apart from this, many times due to itching in the eyes, you must have touched the eyes with your hands.

Doing this can cause many types of damage to your eyes. We talked about this with Dr. Yogesh ji of Patna NMCH. Let us know what the experts have said about this.

Damage to the cornea

Let us tell you that according to expert Dr. Yogesh, there is a high possibility of damage to the cornea by rubbing the eyes. Due to this, you can also get scratches on the cornea and you can have many problems along with scar tissue, and permanent vision problems.

Sometimes infection or allergy also causes the problem of red eyes. Let us tell you that due to unwanted pressure on the eyes, the vagus nerve can also become active, which can reduce the speed of your heart.

Eyes turn red

Rubbing the eyes vigorously can also break their capillaries and this can also make your eyes red due to which red clots can also form in the eyes. Not only this, but due to excessive rubbing of the eyes, dark circles also occur, due to which the colour of the skin around the eyes becomes dark.

Swollen eyes

If you rub your eyes many times throughout the day, then it can also spread a disease called conjunctivitis in the eyes. Let us tell you that there are many viruses and bacteria in your finger that go into the eyes, due to which the eyes can become swollen and the eyes can also become red. Having conjunctivitis will also cause pain in your eyes and it can also spread from one person to another.

You should avoid touching your eyes frequently. If you rub your eyes many times, then it can cause many problems to your eyes. This can also cause blurriness in your eyes and the eyes also become sensitive to excess light.
