is swimming w o goggles causing damage to eye?

Hello all.
Due to the fact that i can't find goggles that fit my wide and deep face
anywhere, I began lately to swim without goggles at all.
It actualy feels great, but my concern is that i might cause damage to
the eye tissue by exposing it to fraction with water or to infacted water.
Let me just add what when i was using goggles thay were putting quite a lot
of pressure around my eyes (probably because thay were to small for me,
but they are big as thay get ), so my concern when i do
use goggles is that putting pressure on and around the eye tissue and
decreasing blood flow can by itself be damaging.
In both cases i don't have any immidiete damage to vision, i just worry about
long term damages.
Thanks in advance !

 

Try a mask if googles don't fit.

 

Small risk of eye infection from water in the eyes... I wouldn't lose
too much sleep over it though.

I had the same problem for years, but kept trying and eventually found a
pair that fit... keep searching! Maybe you could adapt the strap (make
your own?) to suit your head size.
