A warning has been issued that if you don't erase 'Waterproof Mascara' before you go to bed, you can develop fatal eye diseases.

Waterproof mascara with good water repellency is a beauty product that is used a lot because it smudges less and does not erase well than regular mascara.

Meanwhile, the New York Post introduced a video of waterproof mascara side effects by influencer and ophthalmologist Gurin Danoa.



Danoa emphasized in a social media video that "If you slept with waterproof mascara, turn your eyelids upside down."

At the same time, I posted a picture of a patient, and inside the eyelid, there was a mold or mascara stain.



In response, she recommended regular mascara products rather than waterproof mascara, saying, `It's important to remove makeup perfectly before bedtime.'" he said.

The photo appears to be an excerpt from the journal 『Ophthalmology" of the American Academy of Ophthalmology』, which was reported by BuzzFeed News in 2018.



According to the study, a 50-year-old Australian woman slept with mascara overused and not removed enough for 25 years, and later developed a serious eye disease.

The woman's mascara formed small, hard deposits embedded in the skin under the eyelids, and some scratched her eyeballs.

In addition, symptoms of 'filtrating (vesicular) conjunctivitis' were also found, in which infections occurred in the mucous membranes covering the eyes and eyelids.

However, the study did not specify what type of mascara the patient used.

Dr. Rebecca Taylor, a spokeswoman for the American Academy of Ophthalmologists and ophthalmologist, said "Eye-protecting lashes should always be clean. The eyes are nourished by oil glands, which can be a problem if the glands or follicles are blocked", he pointed out.

It also warned that if all eye makeup is not removed before bedtime, it can lead to conjunctivitis or other bacterial and viral infections.
