Using Saliva in Eyes Is a Dangerous Myth You Must Avoid | Dr. Raghav Malik
Is applying saliva to your eyes really a helpful morning hack? In this video, Dr. Raghav Malik from Planet Lasik clears this dangerous misconception. The mouth contains a high amount of bacteria, especially after sleep, and using saliva near or inside the eyes can lead to serious infections. This risk becomes even higher for individuals with conditions like diabetes. Some people even use saliva as a substitute for lens solution, which can be extremely harmful. Your eyes are highly sensitive and need proper care, not unsafe shortcuts. Always avoid such practices and follow safe, hygienic eye care methods.
