8 Common Things That Can Damage Your Eyes

What habits damage your eyes? Many people take their eyesight for granted, but there are a lot of things — your makeup, swimming pools, eye tattoos — that can cause irritation and even make you lose your eyesight!
Take, for example, eye tattoos. Like regular tattoos, they last forever. But they come with higher risks! They can lead to chronic inflammation of the eye, eye pain, blurry vision, and even total blindness, especially if done by an untrained person. Maybe you think it looks cool! But is it worth risking losing your eyesight over a tattoo?

SUMMARY:
- Even if you really need to get that work project done, it’s best to take a small break to give your eyes a break. Take a quick break every 20 minutes.
- If you aren’t in the habit of keeping track of your makeup’s expiration date, you could unintentionally be putting your eyes at risk. Many people don’t even know that makeup comes with expiration dates, and they use it for years.
- Since you’re using glue to put the fake eyelashes on, it creates a perfectly moist environment where bacteria can grow and dirt can get trapped. This can lead to pink eye, irritation, and swelling.
- Nonprescription lenses, like the ones you can buy at a grocery or fashion store, can fit a person’s iris poorly. A poor fit can chafe, cause surface damage, and even cause tears to the cornea.
- You might mean well, but when you share eyeliner, mascara, and eye shadow, you can pass on your bacteria to the other person — and they can pass it to you. Besides, if you have an eye condition that you’re just developing, the other person will very likely get it too.
- Staphylococcal bacteria is a bacterium that lives in your nose, and it's easily transferred to your eyes if you rub your nose, pick it, or blow it, don’t wash your hands afterward, and later touch your eyes.
- According to Cleveland Clinic, chlorine can cause your eyes to become “red, teary, and sensitive to light.” But chlorine shouldn’t keep you from getting your swimming exercise on or enjoying a lazy day at the pool. Simply wear swimming goggles!
