Can mascara cause eye irritation overnight?

Patient's Query

Eye irritation went to sleep with my mascara on now my eyes are irritated

Answered by Dr. Sumeet Agrawal

You should know that the eye irritation you woke up with, and your mascara particles could have been the cause. Mascara particles probably got into your eye while you were asleep. This might result in redness, itching, or even the feeling that a foreign body is sitting in the eye. You can treat your irritated eyes by getting all your makeup off and washing your face before sleeping. If these steps do not work then definitely seek the help of an ophthalmologist.

What are the symptoms one can experience if they have Eye Cancer? Are they noticeable or do they go unnoticed?

Eye cancer does not always cause obvious symptoms and may only be picked up during a routine eye test. Some of the common symptoms of eye cancer are:

Shadows
Flashes of light
Blurred vision
Dark patch in eye that's getting bigger
Partial or total loss of vision
Bulging of 1 eye
A lump on eyelid or in eye that's increasing in size
Pain in or around eye, others.

The above mentioned symptoms can also be caused by more minor eye conditions, so they're not necessarily a sign of cancer. Consult an ophthalmologist. Hope our answer helps you.

I am a 17 years old female who has had a lazy left eye for the past year and 9 months which I believe is called strambius

Female | 17

You might have a lazy left eye, which is also called strabismus. This is caused by the fact that the eye muscles do not function as they should. Sometimes, they can also lead to symptoms such as double vision or your eyes not looking in the same direction. Don't worry, there are treatments available, like special glasses, eye exercises, or even surgery, to help improve your condition.

Your mom's corneal vascularisation can be caused by some issues that have existed for a long time such as arthritis and corneal ulcer. The scar on her cornea may be the reason for her vision being blurry. Treatment options may be included in eye drops, surgery, or using lenses. An eye doctor has to follow up with her to get the best treatment plan.

Female | 23

It's important to rinse your eye with clean water immediately to remove any residue, even if you're not feeling pain or discomfort. Sometimes, even harmless-looking liquids can cause irritation or infection. To be safe, I recommend visiting an eye specialist who can examine your eye properly and give you the right advice.

What is this brown stuff coming from eue,looks like long strands of hair

Female | 63

You could have dacryolithiasis. Brown stuff from your eyes that looks like hair might mean your tears aren't draining well. Blocked tear ducts can cause irritation, redness, and even infection. Try warm compresses and gentle eyelid massages to help with drainage. If the problem persists, see an eye doctor for proper treatment.

i have mixed anisometropia. i am scared that one of my eyes is becoming lazy. what should i do?

Male | `25

Mixed anisometropia occurs when each eye has different refractive power, which can lead to issues like blurred vision or difficulty focusing. This condition can result in one eye not aligning properly with the other, potentially causing amblyopia, or "lazy eye." It’s crucial to visit an eye care professional for a comprehensive examination. They can provide prescription lenses, vision therapy, or other treatments tailored to your needs. Early intervention is key, so please don't hesitate to seek support. Your vision health matters, and many effective solutions are available to help you maintain comfort and clarity in your eyesight.

I am getting a small blind spot in my right eye..its not floating, its just in same spot... No itchiness, no redness, Just one small blind spot in my right Vision..

Female | 35

A minor blind spot that you are experiencing is the result of different factors such as the changes in your retina or optic nerve. It's perfect to hear that there’s neither pain nor color change; nevertheless, it's crucial to be careful. Such symptoms may also be the early signs of some worse problems that need immediate treatment. I would suggest you make an appointment with an optometrist for a good check-up. They can give you a proper diagnosis and talk about the probable treatments if they are needed. Your eyesight is very important to you, so consulting the professional is a proactive measure to make sure that everything is okay.

Male | 20

You might have conjunctivitis (AKA pink eye) if you’re seeing yellow. This condition can make your eyes swell up, get itchy, and turn red. The best thing you can do is to see an eye specialist immediately so that they can give you proper treatment before it gets worse. If not attended to on time, it could lead to more serious complications.

I have low vision and thin optic nerve Eye pain and headache

Male | Shivam Sharma

Low vision and a narrow optic nerve are hard to deal with. These problems could be causing the eye pain and headaches you’re having. Glaucoma or damage to the optic nerve can sometimes lead to such symptoms. Therefore you need to visit an ophthalmologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I have experienced shaky vision in the top as well the left corner of my left eye. This has happened 4 times so far in a span of 6 months. the most recent being yesterday (11/18/2023). it starts of with a dark/ blind spot in the centre of my eye/ vision so I can see like the peripheries of stuff but not the middle. Kind of like when you stare at the sun or a bulb then you get a dark spot in your vision for a bit. this then transitions into shaky vision in the top and left hand corner of my left eye only. the best way I can describe it is like when you look at the ground on a hot day or the sand in a desert when heat is rising so things look all wavy. that's what it looks like. then this lasts for 10-15 minutes then it goes away. please note that I never have headaches or migraines ever during these episodes. do you have an idea of what this could be?

Female | 26

BASED ON your SYMPTOMS, it's possible that you are experiencing OCULAR MIGRAINES...However, it's IMPORTANT to consult an EYE DOCTOR for a proper DIAGNOSIS and TREATMENT PLAN...Ocular migraines are not HARMFUL, but ruling out other causes is CRUCIAL...

Can an iphone flashlight damage my eyes? I have myopia and that's ok, but since august now I have problems with my vision and I'm really scared. I have dermatillomania (skin picking) and since 5 years now I'm watching my skin really close on my face in the mirror. I have crisis that can last few hours. Sometimes, I've used my iPhone flashlight close to my eyes side to the mirror to watch my skin. I wasn't staring directly at the flashlight but it was close to my eyes and my field of vision. Now I'm scared that I've damaged my vision with the flashlight used a lot of times and long period of time close to my eyes

Female | 21

Noting that using the flashlight of your iPhone near your eyes is not a desirable situation, it is highly unlikely to be the cause of any significant damage to your vision. Being exposed to bright light can bring about temporary discomfort or glare; however, it is usually not the cause of long-term damage. Also, the visual impairments that you noticed lately can be brought by other reasons like eye distress and stress. At the same time, remember that your eyes should not be looked at very closely without a break. I think you should go and see an eye specialist to get your vision checked and also to talk about the symptoms You feel.

Please I have problems on my eyes any time I bathe my eye will itchy me, And because of that I change my soap so many times still. But I see things clearly

Male | 31

Itchiness in your eyes while bathing may be linked to soap or water irritants. Common causes include sensitivity to ingredients in personal care products, or even airborne allergens. To alleviate the discomfort, consider using hypoallergenic soap and avoid direct contact with your eyes during washing. Rinsing your eyes gently with clean, lukewarm water may help as well. However, persistent symptoms warrant a professional evaluation. I encourage you to consult an ophthalmologist for tailored advice and peace of mind regarding your condition. They can provide a thorough assessment and recommend suitable treatments.
