I love swimming, but everytime I get water in my eyes, I couldnt open them. I tried and tried, but there is no way I could open my eyes when in contact with water. So everytime I swim, I use googles. But all my firends, they can see underwater and all that, and they cant understand why I have to always use googles. I have been told that the chlorine in the pool is bad for the eyes, but in fact, i cant stand any liquid in my eyes, not even the purest. I want to solve this problem, but please do not tell me to put my head underwater and hold it out. I need a reasonable answer as to why my eyes cant stand water or any liquid.
(I wear glasses, if that helps)

I am afraid too. Once, I tried to open my eyes underwater, and it was not good. It felt like I wanted to cry because the water felt like burns my eyes.
So, I think it's normal not to open your eyes underwater, because it's quite painful.....

your eyes are probably very sensative to water. did you have a bad childhood expirience with it? maybe thats why.. if your scared or just cant.. dont be ashamed of it! theres nothing wrong with using goggles. they are pretty much just underwater glasses.

Your eyes are sensitive. Talk to your doctor.
