ABSTRACT

In this report the use of eye cosmetic products and procedures and how this represents a lifestyle challenge that may exacerbate or promote the development of ocular surface and adnexal disease is discussed. Multiple aspects of eye cosmetics are addressed, including their history and market value, psychological and social impacts, possible problems associated with cosmetic ingredients, products, and procedures, and regulations for eye cosmetic use. In addition, a systematic review that critically appraises randomized controlled trial evidence concerning the ocular effects of eyelash growth products is included. The findings of this systematic review highlight the evidence gaps and indicate future directions for research to focus on ocular surface outcomes associated with eyelash growth products.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Most corneal abrasions are caused by mechanical injuries affecting the superficial epithelial layer. Although one of the functions of the eyelid is to protect the eye, its reaction time of about 425 msec is slower than many ocular insults; thus, corneal abrasions are among the most commonly occurring eye emergencies. CASE REPORTS: Three cases of corneal abrasions with different etiologies are presented. The first case was a large abrasion of the cornea near the visual axis caused by a wood chip. A metal foreign body with rust was lodged in the cornea from metal grinding in the second case. The third case was iatrongenically induced by an A-scan probe while a fellow student was measuring the axial length of the eye. CONCLUSION: Corneal abrasions are one of the most common ocular conditions presented to eye clinics or emergency departments. Although there are different etiologies of abraded corneal epithelium, current clinical management for most corneal abrasions involves a bandage contact lens, use of topical antibiotics, and cycloplegics. Large and central corneal abrasions, however, warrant a consultation with a corneal specialist.
