Your hands touch countless objects, of which their cleanliness is not guaranteed. So touching the eyes with same dirty hand is not healthy. If you must touch the eyes (to rub, remove any foreign body, clean or wipe away tears or any discharge) make sure you use a clean cotton material or cotton bud or wash/sanitize your hands properly to keep out germs from your eyes.

Kids and adults are victim of eye rubbing, however, kids do it often. Parents,teachers and guardians should please, do well to keep close watch on their wards to avoid them infecting their eyes.
