Cosmetics and contact lenses.
Cosmetics, as broadly defined, are used by almost all contact lens wearers of both sexes. Because of the composition of various cosmetic products, contact lenses can be soiled or damaged. The improper use of cosmetics can even cause damage to the eye. More commonly, allergic reactions occur that can jeopardize the continued wear of lenses. This paper reviews the complications that can occur, the available treatment options, and the recommendations for the safe and prudent use of cosmetics.
