Why You Should Never Rub Your Eyes | Houston Eye Doctor Explains

Описание: Don't rub your eyes" - but do you know why? Our eye doctor explains the serious risks.

Berkeley Eye Center's eye doctor breaks down why rubbing your eyes can cause permanent vision problems and what you should do instead when your eyes feel itchy or irritated.

Why Rubbing Your Eyes Is Dangerous:
Cornea Damage - Your cornea determines your prescription for glasses and contacts
Shape Changes - Pressure from rubbing can permanently alter your cornea's shape over time
Prescription Changes - Corneal changes can worsen your vision prescription
Irregular Astigmatism - Severe rubbing can create irregular corneal shapes that glasses and contacts can't fully correct
Permanent Vision Loss - In worst cases, no amount of correction can restore clear vision

The Problem: Many people don't realize that repeated eye rubbing can cause irreversible damage to one of the most important structures for clear vision.
