Overuse of Digital Devices is harmful

We live in a world where the use of digital gadgets has increased greatly because of the plethora of information and entertainment it provides us with. Excessive usage of TVs, computers and mobile phones is quite alarming, especially when it comes to children. Reason being, they're perpetually exposed to it whether they're at home or in school.

Rubbing Your Eyes is a Bad Idea

You may rub your eyes due to an infection or allergy. Or you may do it out of habit or reflex.

Whatever be the reason, the bottom line is - rubbing your eyes is damaging. Rubbing your eyes constantly or too aggressively can potentially damage the cornea (lens of the eyes). This further leads to an impaired vision or infection that would require medical attention.

If the answer is yes, you must take them seriously as these could be indicators of some existing eye problem/s.
