Re: ocular/eye skin inflammation. HELP! PLEASE!

March 6, 2002

I couldn't help but respond to your message. First of all - have you

seen a doctor? Your eyes sound so bad that I think you may need

medical help. Secondly, having gone through similar periods with my

eyes there are many things besides mascara that can make your eyes

red, itchy, dry and painful. I found, through much trial and error,

that the hand lotion I was using was the main culprit. How did this

bother my eyes you ask? Simply by adjusting my glasses, rubbing the

cornor of my eye, putting eyedrops in and having my fingers brush

near my lids or lashes. I stopped using the kind of cream I had used

for years, gave up all eyemake up for a couple of months (that was

too too hard! but I did it).

I've begun using eye make up again. I've found Kiss-Me-Mascara is

kind to my eyes and I have no problem with it. If I use any kind of

lotion at all (which I do or my hands and skin would be terribly

dry) I make sure never to touch my face or area around my eyes

without washing my hands first.

Since I made my discovery last SEptember my eyes are 95% better. I

just take precautions, am very careful of the products I use and I

am much more comfortable. Oh! another thing alot of people don't

know is that many, many eye problems are caused by an allergy to

nail polish. I can't and haven't been able for years, to wear any

kind of nail polish. Anytime I've been stupid enough to try again I

have major problems. Again, just the fact that it's on my fingers

and my fingers touch my eyelids, under etc. causes major problems.

Good luck

Sue
