  Well, there is no doubt that you may get hurt and eye infection if you poke your eyes. However, it does not always damage eyes. That is, you poked your eyes by accident, but not so severe. It's okay after taking a rest and dropping some basic eye drops to reduce pain and kill bacteria. While you got seriously poked, you may get eye problems indeed. When your eyes get injury, first thing you must consider is avoiding being infected ant more. Injured eyes are easy to get further infection in that bacteria and germs can follow. Also, poke can hurt the blood vessels in eyes so that bloodshot may occur, i.e, pink eye and red eye are accompanied.

  Yes, it is possible to cause damages to your eyes. But it depends on the seriousness of the condition. Just check your eyes with the in the mirror. If your eyes appear red and your feel pain, you'd better receive a prompt treatment. Because the red and pain eyes may result of a broken vessel located between the sclera and conjunctiva when you got poked in the eyes. If your eyes still look as usually and you not feel pain, it is a good sign that your eyes may not damaged.
