Dangers of Rubbing Your Eyes Too Often, Can Trigger Cornea Problems

Dream — Rubbing or scratching the eyes has become a common thing. Usually, this habit is done when waking up or after staring at a gadget screen.

Although it may seem trivial, this habit is not recommended by eye doctors. According to them, rubbing the eyes too often can put pressure on the eyes or even cause serious problems.

"I think everyone should not rub their eyes and just use eye drops if their eyes feel itchy. This actually makes you not need to consult a doctor,"
"Masako Chen said, an ophthalmologist."

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The habit of rubbing the eyes is not only done spontaneously. It is also triggered by several factors. Dream friends need to know the causes so as not to get used to rubbing the eyes, which can have a negative impact on your eye health. Therefore, please read the following explanation!"

"Why Do People Often Rub Their Eyes?"

"In general, people like to rub their eyes to relieve discomfort in the eyes caused by various factors."

Some people do it out of habit. While others rub their eyes due to allergies, feeling itchy or stinging, experiencing inflammation of the eyelids, eye strain, and dry eyes.

"In addition to the increasing number of eye irritations caused by allergies, dry eyes are also becoming more common and are a contributing factor to this habit."

"revealed Jill Beyer, Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at Stanford University."

"Rubbing the Eyes Only Worsens the Condition"

You might think that there is no other solution to relieve discomfort in the eyes besides rubbing them. However, it actually makes the eyes even itchier.

According to Chen, rubbing the eyes while walking or being in an open place can cause small objects to enter the eyes and cause painful scratches. Increased pressure on the eyes when rubbing can cause the cornea to bend and make it thinner.

The translation of the given text from 'Bahasa' to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags is as follows: "Severe cases can cause damage to collagen fibers and other proteins that make up the eyes, resulting in bulging eyes or keratoconus. Individuals experiencing such serious conditions may require a corneal transplant if the condition does not improve."

How to Avoid the Habit of Rubbing Your Eyes

Rubbing the eyes can be avoided by addressing the causes of such habit.

If your eyes feel dry, try using eye drops that can make your eyes feel comfortable. Also try the 20-20-20 method by looking at objects 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes when using screens gadgets to keep your eyes healthy.

Immediately contact a doctor if your vision is blurry or if your eyes are irritated and painful. Report: Monica Alycia Mutiara / Source: Health.com. Dream.co.id is available on WhatsApp Channel, follow to get the latest information on this link https://bit.ly/DreamcoidWAChannel.
