Ever wondered what eye rubbing looks like on an MRI? It’s more than just a fleeting sensation. Eye rubbing can leave a lasting impact on your eyes, affecting their health and function. MRI scans reveal how this seemingly innocent habit can put pressure on delicate eye structures, potentially leading to corneal abrasions, increased eye pressure, and even vision complications. When we rub our eyes, it stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, leading to pupil dilation and increased heart rate. However, prolonged rubbing can also activate the parasympathetic nervous system, causing constriction of the pupils and decreased heart rate. These conflicting effects can disrupt the delicate balance of our eye's autonomic functions, potentially impacting vision and eye health. Let's prioritise gentle care for our eyes to maintain their optimal function! #satisfying #EyeCare #NervousSystem #theosteodr #fyp #satisfyingvideo #CapCut
