Makeup.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nBelieve it or not, wearing eye makeup can also trigger the development of keratitis. There are a number of reasons why. Firstly, if you are allergic to the eye makeup you are wearing, your cornea can become inflamed, which can lead to keratitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Secondly, if you poke yourself in the eye with a mascara wand, eyeliner pencil, or any other type of applicator, your cornea can become damaged, and hence, keratitis can result. Lastly, eye makeup can become infected with bacteria, fungus, and viruses; if they makeup you are using has been exposed to any of these toxins<\/a>, they can enter your eye and damage the cornea. Use care while putting on your eye makeup, never share products with other people, and make sure that you wash applicators and replace your makeup on a regular basis to prevent the risk of damaging your eyes and developing keratitis.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n<\/div>
