🚨 Kids Who Rub Their Eyes Repeatedly? Don’t Ignore It!
Constant eye rubbing is not normal — it can permanently change the eye’s surface.
👁 Allergies or VKC (vernal keratoconjunctivitis) may improve with medicine for a few days, but if rubbing restarts, the allergy returns and worsens.
⚠ Repeated rubbing can lead to keratoconus — a serious, vision-threatening condition.
✅ What Parents Should Do:
- Never let kids rub their eyes repeatedly.
- Even if eye power is zero, protective glasses help reduce irritation and rubbing.
- Get a full eye checkup if your child rubs often, even after short-term relief from medicine.
