title: [Problems arising from the use of cosmetics on the lid margin (author's transl)].
abstract: Report on clinical and histopathological changes of the conjunctiva after long-term use of cosmetics containing carbon black (mascara, eyeliner) on the lid margin. Penetration of tiny pigmented particles into the stroma of the conjunctiva initially causes a follicular reaction which is evidently toxic, and later, results in a chronic follicular-papillary reaction.
