Kissing the Hand After Touching the Eyes

Question

Hello, there are people who, after touching their eyes, kiss their hand. Is there any significance to this? And what is the source for this custom? Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello,

Indeed, there are communities that have the custom of kissing the hand after each time one touches the eyes, but I do not know its source or reason.

With blessings,
