To think your eyes/eyeballs aren’t self cleaning?

I’m not sure how it came up in conversation but me and DH were rocking about showering/cleaning and DH mentioned he doesn’t open his eyes in the shower much. I asked how he cleans his eyeballs and he looked confused. Turns out he doesn’t wash his eyeballs at all. He closes his eyes and washes his face but not his actual eyes?

AIBU to tell him his eyes don’t clean themselves and he needs to open his eyes and rinse them with the shower?

Oh god, just the thought of spraying shower water in my eyes makes me wince.

Eyeballs are self-cleaning - that is what blinking does!

What do you think tears do?

I don’t think I’ve ever cleaned my eyes. They are quite obviously self cleaning!

I have never knowingly washed my eyeballs.
