The top layer of your eyes and you rub it super hard and it hurt, will it change appearance? what are the clues? please be specific.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scratched eye: If you rub the eye too hard you can cause a scratch on the surface. The appearance won't change except the eye may become red. Frequent aggressive eye rubbing may also be a cause of a progressive weakening of the cornea resulting in keratoconus.
