7 problems that can happen if you rub your eyes

in #body6 years ago

Do you have an allergy or did you spend a whole day looking at the monitor? In these and many other cases, the most pleasant and satisfying thing is to give your eyes a nice rubbing to calm them down and take the accumulated load from them. Yes, however, rubbing the eyes can cause many serious problems. This so often practiced by many acts is not harmless. That's why.

You can damage the cornea

The cornea of ​​the eye is the topmost transparent layer, which is a very thin zipper. Frequent and prolonged scrubbing of the eye can cause a disorder in this tissue, called keratoconus. The cornea produces a convex shape that can lead to visual impairment, increased astigmatism, or myopia.

Scratching the cornea

If anything falls into your eye and causes you to rub it out to remove the particle, it can cause scratching of the cornea and its mechanical damage.

You can aggravate the glaucoma

If you are diagnosed with this serious progressive illness, you should know that you should not rub your eyes. Glaucoma is caused by fluid accumulation in the front of the eye, which increases the intraocular pressure. The nerve is pressed and this can lead to blindness.

By rubbing your eyes you disrupt blood circulation in the eye, which can lead to worsening of the disease and rapid loss of vision.

You may worsen myopia

Patients with progressive myopia (shortsightedness) should also not rub their eyes. This may worsen their vision, especially if they have a larger diopter.

Infections

No matter how often you wash your hands, there are thousands of bacteria on them. Fingering the eyes with fingers carries these bacteria into the eyes, and this risks the appearance of various bacterial and viral infections.

You may cause a drop in the eyelid (ptosis)

Aggressive and frequent scrubbing of the eyes can cause harm not only to the eyes but also to the eyelids. Fingering may affect the nerve, eyelid the eyelid. As a consequence, it may drop temporarily or permanently.

You may cause a capillary burst

Even if it sounds like a cosmetic and harmless problem, the rupture of a capillary is not frivolous. Blood vessels in the eye are extremely thin and tender. Any bruising could potentially cause a more serious problem.
