3. INTRODUCTION Eyes are an area where micro-organisms potentially can gain access into the body. However, there is usually no need to clean the eye due to their natural self-regulation process, as the conjunctiva is protected by a film of tears(contains anti-bacterial properties) and the constant blinking mechanism of the eyes flushes and cleanses the eye surface. Therefore, healthy children may only need the area of skin surrounding the eye cleansed as part of their general hygiene routine. However, a sick or vulnerable child may need more frequent specific eye care with the duration of eye care depending on the child’s underlying conditions.

10. DISADVANTAGES When we are cleansing the surround orbital area of the eye with soap, the use of soap is generally omitted. If we don’t omit the soap it may cause burning and irritation. If we don’t use separate section of the wash cloth for cleansing eye, it may cause eye infection. Don’t apply direct pressure over the eyeball, it may cause serious injury.
