Eye complications following eyelash extension

Eyelash extension is a common procedure among women, which consists in attaching synthetic eyelashes using an adhesive base, which may be accompanied by complications from the organ of vision. A web survey of 41 women was conducted on a questionnaire including questions about the state of the visual organ and the treatment of complications after eyelash extension, according to which 61% of respondents noted symptoms of eyelid irritation. It was revealed that 39% reported complaints of redness, swelling or itching in the eyelid area immediately after the procedure, 22% had pain in the eyelid area without swelling and redness. At the same time, 12.2% of the symptoms were characterized as an allergic reaction of the eyelids, 14.6% - as dry eye syndrome, 9.8% of all respondents turned to an ophthalmologist. All undesirable symptoms were eliminated by the use of locally anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, moisturizing and anti-allergic eye drops and ointments. The obtained data emphasize the importance of taking into account the allergic anamnesis and the presence of the eye surface diseases before the procedure, tracking undesirable reactions from the organ of vision and timely treatment after the procedure in order to avoid complications.
