Many of us develop habits over the years, which we may not realize we are doing, writes Express.co.uk.

Some may cause health problems, but some may not.

The oculist surgeon at OCL Vision, Mark Wilkins, urged people to try to avoid a certain custom “, for which we are all guilty”.

According to Wilkins, regular eye friction can lead to infections, inflammation, and even long - term damage to sight.

“We are all guilty that occasionally we rub our eyes and as long as your hands are clean and it's not often, you won't face any problems”, he said.

“Anyway, if it turns into a habit, it could endanger your eyes from infection or even long-term damage to your view”. /Telegraphy/
