Cosmetics and eye health

Eye makeup and other beauty products can cause irritation to the eyes or worse – they can result in styes, the worsening of dry eye disease, even an overgrowth of microscopic mites in the eyelashes. However, quality cosmetics are safe when used correctly. Dr. Olivia Ricci, a residency-trained optometrist and assistant clinical professor with the University of Waterloo School of Optometry and Vision Science, explains how to maintain your eye health when using a range of beauty products.
