A member asked:
Can swimming goggles change the appearance of your eyes? what happen if it feels weird around eyes? if it is a smaller size goggle? clues?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: They should adhere to the skin around the eyes to prevent water from getting in. There is no effect of this on the appearance of the eyes or the skin around the eyes. Otherwise we would be looking at weird effects on olympic class swimmers who wear goggles 5-8 hours per day - day after day.
