Swimming in contact lenses — increases the risk of serious eye infections.
Urine eye drops — please do not put urine in your eyes.
“Sunglasses are bad for your eyes” — quality UV protection helps protect your eyes from sun damage.
Pinhole glasses reverse your prescription — they may make things look temporarily clearer, but they do not cure nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
Your eyes are too important to gamble with viral myths. When in doubt, ask an eye care professional.
