Eye Rubbing Awareness
π You may want to stop rubbing your eyes.
It might feel harmless, but frequent eye rubbing can:
β’ Worsen irritation
β’ Spread bacteria
β’ Even affect your cornea over time
π‘ If your eyes are itchy or uncomfortable, thereβs usually a better solution. Place a clean washcloth soaked in cold water over closed eyelids for 5-10 minutes. Or use preservative-free lubricating eye drops (artificial tears) to wash away allergens or hydrate your eyes.
Persistent itching accompanied by other symptoms such as eye discharge, light sensitivity, or blurry vision call for an immediate visit to your eye doctor!
