Poor hydration, smoking, makeup or prolonged exposure to screens without breaks can lead to a worsening of eye diseases.
Smoking, excessive drinking, insufficient hydration or lack of eye protection against excessive exposure to the sun's rays are practices that have a negative impact on our eyes. It is therefore important to have regular ophthalmological check-ups so as not to miss symptoms that may indicate eye problems.
Prolonged exposure to computer screens, cell phones or tablets without taking breaks are considered bad practices for our visual health. As well as the continued use of contact lenses, or keeping them during sleeping hours, can lead to a worsening of pathologies such as blepharitis or dry eyes.
The habit of rubbing your eyes when you feel itchy to try to soothe the area only worsens the symptoms of possible blepharitis. Ophthalmologists recommend that patients who tend to have inflamed eyelids, or who suffer from any pathology that predisposes them to blepharitis, avoid applying anything to the eyelids that may incite inflammation.
Use of make-up and blepharitis
It is important to point out that, in case you want to use make-up in the periocular area, the product must be suitable not only for the skin type of the person who is going to use it, but it must also be hypoallergenic. For example, blepharitis in some cases may arise as an allergic response when some of the components of these cosmetic products come into contact with the eyelid area.
Proper eyelid hygiene before going to sleep is of great importance. The removal of any foreign substance from the eyelid area prevents, for example, the obstruction of the glands on the edges of the eyelids leading to dry eye problems or problems with flaking of the skin in the eyelid area.
The use of mascara or eyeliner in poor condition, curling the eyelashes with mascara on or the regular use of eyelash extensions can delay the healing of blepharitis or even in some cases cause the eyelashes to fall out.
Not following the ophthalmologist's instructions on eyelid hygiene or not using specific products for this purpose leads to incorrect treatment of blepharitis and, as a consequence, a longer duration of discomfort in the patient. It is important that the patient does not try to solve these symptoms by himself and goes to the specialist to obtain a treatment according to his pathology.
