‘Vodka Eyeballing’ Deemed Detrimental Practice



A dodgy boozing game fondly dubbed ‘vodka eyeballing’ is catching the fancy of a lot of people on ‘YouTube’. Individuals should be sentient that any person pouring vodka direct inside his/her eyes would risk harming the epithelial cell surface – mostly contributing to pains and infections. What is even more serious about the vodka eyeballing practice is that it could cause lasting eye sight harm by obliterating endothelial cells situated in the deep set corneal layers of a person’s eye.

This kind of damage is improbable, thought likely. The cornea is the translucent external portion of the eyes which functions by focussing light and providing a great deal of visual power. Based on the extent of the alcoholic drink being employed and the span of time it has been in-contact with the eye, loss of epithelial cells might lead to ulcer formations in the cornea or scar development, not withstanding tremendous amount of pains experienced as a result of this imprudent behaviour.

In case epithelial cell fatality occurs then there is definite uncertainty of vision revival. What is even worse is the people engaging in vodka eyeballing do not even get a swift-high as is asserted since the extent of alcohol absorption by the conjunctiva and corneal surface is quite diminutive to be able to elicit any notable effect.

A strong advisory furnished by the American Academy of Ophthalmology is that people need to steer clear from ‘vodka eyeballing’.
