My ophthalmologist prescribed drops for allergic conjunctivitis, should i not we!
Question:
My ophthalmologist prescribed drops for allergic conjunctivitis, should i not wear eye makeup in a while?
He didn't mention anything about it, and it just struck me if maybe i shouldn't be putting mascara on anymore... but since it's allergic and not viral or bacterial maybe makeup is ok?
Answers:
I am an optician too. I have sensitive eyes. I wear contacts and mascara. Try to use a mascara that has no lengthening fibers, and use a gentle one like one from Almay, Physician's Formula, or Mary Kay. Do not use the waterproof kind either. Most of those either do not have allergy causing parabens, or they have very small amounts in them. Health food stores also carry more natural mineral based mascaras that do not have the funky additives that cause allergic conjunctivitis. Always take your makeup off beofre you go to bed. Always use your eye drops about 10 minutes before contacts or makeup. Always change your mascara tube every 6-8 weeks if you have sensative eyes. AND make sure that you call your doctor and ask them what they think, they might have just the right answer for you that us bone heads missed! SMOOCHES ! LORI O^O
