The eyes are the highlight of the face, but they are also a vulnerable part if not properly cared for. According to ophthalmologist Shambhavi GK at Aster CMI Hospital (India), the following five popular beauty habits are the cause of many people having vision problems.
Wearing aesthetic contact lenses for too long
Many people choose contact lenses to change the color of their eyes or increase their attractiveness, but wearing them for a long time causes corneas to lack oxygen. If the retina is not properly cleaned or used for too long, it can cause redness, dryness, and even corneal ulcers, one of the most serious damage to vision, says Dr. Shambhavi.
Buying and using contact lenses without a prescription
Online contact lenses, of unknown origin, may contain toxic chemicals or dyes that affect the cornea. The doctor recommends that users "Only buy glasses from a reputable facility and with the direction of an ophthalmologist".
Skipping hygiene when wearing contact lenses
Many people forget to wash their hands or change the preservatives before wearing glasses, creating conditions for bacteria and fungi to grow. This leads to conjunctivitis, swelling, redness, or prolonged eye pain.
unclean makeup tools and products
Eye makeup helps your face look radiant, but if you use palm, mascara or dirty eye Pen, you can accidentally put bacteria in your eyes. Do not use expired products or eyeliner lines that are too deep into the perimeter because they can easily irritate sensitive skin, notes Dr. Shambhavi.
Sharing makeup with others
Many people have the habit of sharing mascara or eyeops with friends, but this can cause bacterial infections, causing inflammation of the cornea, eye drops or severe infections. "Only once is enough to damage the eyes," the doctor warned.
Keeping your eyes healthy is not only aesthetic but also a matter of protection for your vision. Do a good job of cleaning when wearing contact lenses, replace cosmetics periodically and only use safety products. A bright, healthy eyes are the most natural highlight of each person.
