Patient's question:
Just now, I touched my eyes with my hands that had touched clothes with disinfectant. I have already washed them with water and haven't gone to the hospital.Doctor's answer:

This condition tends to recur and can rupture severely, leaving eyelid scars.

Additionally, daily care measures are indispensable. It is recommended to drink plenty of water and consume vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.
