There is no real science to support the claim that rubbing the eyes kills the eye's delicate structure. Rubbing the eyes can cause the structure to break and the blood to flow too quickly and too deep, causing a redness and sensation of blindness. This is not plausible because there is evidence that rubbing the eyes can cause a decrease in vision sensitive angle (VSA). VSA is the angle of vision that allows humans to see small details. It is responsible for most people experience the world in black and white. If the eye's delicate structure is decreased by rubbing, the person will not be able to see small details and will belimited in able to see life's details.

Direct contact with the eyes can often irritate them. Our hands are with microscopic germs most of the time because they are the most active parts of our body. You wouldn't want to be rubbing your eyes if your hands aren't clean.

If you must sooth your eyes, you can close your lids and cover with a clean wet towel until it dries out. Also, a slice of cucumber can do the trick. Cucumber contains lots of water which can moisturize and filter toxins. You can also refer to your doctor for special eye exercise.

Rubbing your eyes, although very satisfying when you are tired, is not good for them. It can stretch the skin over time causing lines around the outer area. It can also cause infection if there is any bacteria on your hands.

To soothe my eyes I use eye drops or I find placing cold tea bags over them refreshes them (I know it sounds odd). If I have a night out and my eyes look tired and puffy I use this tip and find it really works.

Soft rubbing does not cause any issues but hard rubbing leads to the rashes and also may infection due to the nails. So make sure that you rub softly in fact use water instead of the rubbing. That way you won't have any issues with the eyes having
