An Indian woman has gained viral fame on social media for her unconventional method of eye cleansing, using her tongue to clean people’s eyes for a dollar per session.
A TikTok video, now viewed thousands of times, shows the Indian woman extending her tongue to clean a customer’s eyeball, reportedly to remove dirt.
As the video spread, it drew a range of reactions, with many viewers expressing concerns about the safety and hygiene of the practice.
@Anne Frank warned, “You could get an eye infection, then your immune system will notice your eyeballs and see them as invaders, then destroy the eye causing you to go blind.”
@Ali commented, “I wouldn’t go and risk my eyes like this even for 100k.”
@Hardy is the party added, “I hope the person getting the eye cleanse is the one being paid.”
Is Tongue Cleaning a Valid Method for Eye Care?
The practice of using one’s tongue to clean another person’s eyes raises significant health concerns. Medical experts strongly advise against such methods due to the high risk of transmitting infections. The human mouth contains numerous bacteria, which can easily be transferred to the delicate tissues of the eye, potentially causing severe infections, including conjunctivitis and other eye diseases. There is no scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of tongue cleaning for eye-related illnesses. Instead, it is recommended to consult an eye care professional for any eye issues to ensure safe and proper treatment.
