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

[HumourMeThis]

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?

eye don’t know what you mean.

Of course they are self-cleaning and no, you don't wash them in the shower.

Don't balls it up, OP. Best to keep a lid on it.

Obvs I wash them daily, with the song. I do my head, shoulders, knees and toes and then finish up with eyes and ears and mouth and nose then rinse off my head, shoulders knees and toes, knees and toes

Eye think it's a shameless attempt to get into classic threads.

WHAT have I just read?

When you were told to wash your eyes in the shower so you don't get conjunctivitis I guarantee you that the person meant wash the skin around your eyes and into the corners of your closed eyes, not actually open your eyes and wash your eyeballs with water. My optician would be horrified at this.

However your post has done a massive amount of good for the eye health of the nation, by the sheer amount of tears that people have shed whilst crying laughing at it.

I can only hope you’re using No More Tears, OP.

You’re a lunatic 🤣

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! 😳

This is the funniest thread. It reminds me of how much I love the British sense of humour!

Erm, your eyes are self cleaning. WTAF have you been doing to your eyes??

I use Bleach

This needs to go in classics

Noooooo, that’s not strong enough. You need Lye, or undiluted sulphuric acid

Have you tried Purdue and Fig? It does the same job but it’s all natural and the bottles are super middle class

I keep thinking I’m in some kind of weird dream each time I read a response from OP…

No. Just NO

My cat likes to lick mine. I thought that was enough.

All I can say is thank fuck you don’t work in medical research - because this is NOT how you test whether your hypothesis is correct or not.

This is hilarious. If this is real it hasn’t helped my feelings of despair at the state of human intelligence. Sorry OP but really.

This is one of the most weird posts I’ve ever seen on MN. And I’ve been around these parts for a very long time.🫣

You really don’t want to be getting tap water in your eyes constantly. Ameoba infections in eyes are nasty and can destroy your eye - which is why you must never wash contact lenses in tap water.

I love this thread. It has really made me laugh @HumourMeThis

I agree. A relative through marriage washed one of his eyes every day.

Mind you, it was glass.

No. This is mad, you’re lucky not to have had a bad infection. If your eyes are gunky its because of this!

Wipe them gently with cooled boiled water if you must and use sterile drops if they feel dry and uncomfortable. Or just do as your DH does and leave your eyes alone!
