Sore Eyes

Rubbing the eyes is not advisable as red eyes can be from foreign body. rubbing will create abrasion in the conjunctiva will will further damage the eye. In case of foreign body the best thing is to close the eye for a minute or two. Tears will come out and it will create mucous that will coat the rough surface of the foreign body.
