Abstract


Cosmetic products applied external to the ocular surface contain a range of substances that are potentially irritant. Among these ingredients there may be mentioned waxes and oils, pigments, fillers and preservatives. Cosmetics migration into the tear film and ocular surface can have influence on eye comfort and health. To date, mechanisms that induce allergic reactions or tear film instability and epithelial damage are quite well known. However, there is still lack of information on interactions of cosmetic products with contact lens materials. The aim of this article is to bring existing knowledge on influence of cosmetics on irritant and allergic reactions due to their use near to ocular tissues of anterior eye.
