THE HABIT OF EYE RUBBING – BEHIND THE TEMPORARY RELIEF, DANGERS AWAIT
The habit of rubbing the eyes may provide temporary relief, but it carries risks such as corneal shape changes, hemorrhage, infections, worsened allergies, and increased likelihood of serious eye conditions like keratoconus and astigmatism. As a preventive measure, use artificial tears, maintain good hand and facial hygiene, and avoid repeated rubbing to keep your vision healthy.
