A member asked:
If you cried a lot and your eyes become swollen, will it cause anything to the eye like infection or both eyes looking at different direction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Crying with excessive tearing certainly can cause yours eyes to get red and your eyelids to get puffy. The mere act of crying should not increase your chance of infection or most definitely, not cause double vision. If you are blowing your nose ; wipingy our eyes, don't contaminate your eyes with external secretions that theoretically could infect your eyes.
