Malaysian man undergoes cornea transplant due to excessive eye rubbing

While rubbing your eyes might seem like a harmless habit but it can lead to significant and lasting damage. Muhammad Zabidi, 21, posted a video on TikTok where he described the horror. According to reports, Zabidi has been suffering from allergies since childhood and started experiencing blurred vision in his right eye at the age of 15. When he finally met the doctor, Zabidi had severely scratched his cornea and now needed a new one to regain his vision.
