Eyes are one of the most important parts of our body. With the help of which we are able to see the world around us. Our eyes are very sensitive.
There is a higher risk of eye infection or eye flu during the rainy season. Because in this season, viruses and bacteria that cause fungal infections increase in the air. Most people start rubbing their eyes due to infection or allergy. This can make you feel very good for some time. But doing this again and again can be dangerous. Rubbing the eyes too vigorously can cause corneal damage.
Question- What kind of problems can occur due to rubbing of eyes?
Answer- Dr. Digvijay Singh says that rubbing of eyes can cause different problems according to different ages. Such as-
In children who rub their eyes too much, the shape of their cornea changes. The blood vessels of the eyes are very delicate. The vessels start breaking due to rubbing of the eyes. Due to which the white layer of the eyes starts bleeding and the eyes turn red. Apart from this, dark circles start appearing due to children repeatedly rubbing their eyes.
At the same time, frequent rubbing of the eyes of an adult can cause a disease called keratoconus. In this the surface of the cornea becomes irregular and thin. A cone shaped bulge begins to form in the eye. Due to which there may be difficulty in seeing.
Along with this, frequent rubbing of eyes with increasing age can cause eye-lid problems. Entropion and ectropion disease may occur in this. In this disease the eyelids turn inwards. Usually this problem is seen after the age of 40 because after this age the skin of the eyelids starts shrinking.
