No matter how itchy you feel, eye specialists warn against rubbing your eyes. Prolonged eye rubbing can weaken or distort your cornea, the protective covering of your eye, possibly leading to a condition called keratoconus. Further, rubbing your eyes with unhygienic hands can spread viral infections such as cold, flu, or conjunctivitis. #EyeHealth #Keratoconus #EyeCare #Hygiene #InfectionPrevention
