Here's why:
* Risk of Eye Damage: If the piercing touches your eye, it can scratch or irritate the cornea, the clear front surface of your eye. This can lead to pain, infection, and even vision problems.
* Improper Placement: If a piercer places an eyebrow piercing so close to the eye that it touches, they are not doing it correctly. A proper eyebrow piercing should be placed along the eyebrow ridge, safely away from the eye.
* Rejection/Migration: A piercing placed too close to the eye is more likely to reject, meaning the body pushes the jewelry out. This can leave scarring.
If your eyebrow piercing is touching your eye, you should:
1. Remove the Jewelry: Take the piercing out immediately to prevent further damage.
2. See a Doctor: Consult a doctor or ophthalmologist as soon as possible to check for any eye damage.
3. Consult a Different Piercer: If you decide to get your eyebrow pierced again, go to a reputable and experienced piercer who understands proper placement.
