The document discusses eye care, including its purpose, advantages, and tips. Eye care workers like ophthalmologists and optometrists assess vision and eye health, looking for diseases. While eyes have natural protection, sick or vulnerable children may need more frequent specific eye care depending on their condition. When cleansing eyes, it is important not to apply direct pressure or omit soap which could cause burning or infection.

3. Eyes are an area where micro-organisms potentially
can gain access into the body. However, there is
usually no need to clean the eye due to their natural
self-regulation process, as the conjunctiva is
protected by a film of tears(contains anti-bacterial
properties) and the constant blinking mechanism of
the eyes flushes and cleanses the eye surface.
Therefore, healthy children may only need the area of
skin surrounding the eye cleansed as part of their
general hygiene routine. However, a sick or vulnerable
child may need more frequent specific eye care with
the duration of eye care depending on the child’s
underlying conditions.

the eye with soap, the use

the soap it may cause
burning and irritation.

cause eye infection.
