What injury is caused by repetitively pressing hard on eye with finger,but with eyelid closed..i am worried as my eye hurted for 2 days after this act

Circulation loss: If you do this with some diligence, you can cut off the circulation to the retina at the back of the eye due to increased eye pressure. This can cause vision loss. Try to avoid this activity.
