Usually we are careful of soap going in eyes while bathing or washing face,yet some times soap does enter our eyes causing discomfort and pain.You might even fear that you have done some long lasting harm to your eyes.In this article we discuss if having soap in your eyes is a cause of concern and what can be done immediately. Soap in eyes does cause discomfort,redness and pain.This is because of the difference in pH of our eyes and soap.Eyes have pH of around 7 which is neutral.A variety of soaps have pH of 9-10 which is alkaline.Our eyes have low tolerance for alkaline substances.Thus when soap gets into eyes causes burning sensation. Front surface of your eyes is very reactive to stimuli,so any contact with external substances can cause a great deal of pain.If left untreated the presence of soap in eyes could cause damage to the surface of eyes.
Allergies to Eye glasses
Although not common, it’s possible to have an allergic reaction to your prescription eyewear.
This is because some people may develop allergic reaction to the material of the frames or the coating around the frame, friction of part of the frame against the skin, or the nose pad (the portion of your eyeglasses that sits on your nose) material is allergic and does not suit the person. Some plastic frames have a metal wire for support of the frame due to constant use the plastic coating comes out and the metal wire may rub against the skin causing redness or blisters. Some people may develop allergies due to engravings on the sides or temples of the frame due to allergic reaction of the materials. The result can range from a mild skin irritation to oozing, blister-like sores around the eyes, rashes or black marks.
