Is rubbing your eyes good?
We usually rub our eyes due to lack of sleep or to get rid of dust, irritants, etc. This is done very often by us. But is it good for our eyes or bad? Let's see...
Sometimes rubbing our eyes for short periods are often good because it produces tears which lubricates our eyes. Rubbing even stimulates the vagus which successively slows down our heartbeat, helping relieve stress.
However, it's not good if done regularly. Firstly, continuous rubbing can cause the outer layer of our eyes called cornea to become thin, weak and conical in shape, causing a disease referred to as keratoconus, thus resulting in distorted vision. Secondly, if there's an irritant and that we attempt to remove it by rubbing, that irritant can scratch our cornea. Lastly, if people with glaucoma rub their eyes, it can cause extra increase in fluid pressure, further damaging the optic nerve, eventually resulting in blindness.
Posts before October 2021 have been marked as "Old Posts". Less likely, but they might have out dated or incorrect information, ugly looking bits of code, no labels, etc. Don't get me wrong, many of these posts are top-notch and interesting too.
I thought it would be better not to delete or revamp these posts, even if they suck. The bitter truth is that old works always suck, but I take that as a positive tool to convey that I am growing. Besides there's no better way to showcase my journey without these old, messy, poorly written posts!
