We consider our eyes too easy and take for granted.
We don’t like to spend our time and money for an eye check-up.
Even if there’s an infection on our eyes, we still don’t consider important to consult a doctor or to take proper care.
It’s time to take a closer look at our eye care routines to see if we are doing more harm than good.
Here are the 6 mistakes that you need to avoid for your eyes.
YOUR IRRITATED EYES ARE IGNORED
Red, Burning or Watery Eyes that Itch can be the warning signs of Allergies.
These Infections have other signs such as
Thick Mucus Discharge

An untreated infection can permanently damage your eyes and will spread to the people around you.
YOU IGNORE YOUR INJURED EYES
You might think it’s not a big deal but instead of ignoring, consult your eye doctor immediately to check if there is any discomfort you experience.
Some alarming signs are:
Trouble in Vision
Eye-Opening Feels like Needle Pricking

YOU RUB YOUR EYES
This irritates and damages the blood vessels. The germs in your hands will worsen your eye infection when you keep rubbing your eyes.
YOU LEAVE MAKEUP ON BEFORE SLEEP
This causes to have severe eye infection as the leftover particles of eyeliner, mascara and eyeshadow fall into your eyes. Always have the habit to remove makeup before going to bed. Consult a doctor right away if your eyes hurt and get reddish.

The doctor needs to know if any eye conditions run in your family. Researchers think that glaucoma and muscular degeneration is a genetic disease.
