    Why don’t we see a lot of common infections that specifically affect eyes? Is the immune system that effective even though it can’t fuck your shit up?

      If people had sex by touching their eyes together, we’d probably see more. Otherwise, it’s hard for an eye only disease to spread.

      SpongeBob SquarePants and Midoriya Izuku probably have to worry about eye infections, since in their worlds you can cry with the force of a yard sprinkler.
