Permanent Eyeliner and Eye Infection

Those who find the daily application of makeup too costly or time-consuming may consider the option of permanent eyeliner. While the long-term benefits of this option may seem attractive, it is important to consider the risk of infection following the procedure.


Unsterilized Equipment
The Food and Drug Association warns that the use of unsterilized equipment is a common cause of infection. Make sure the procedure is performed by a cosmetic surgeon and in a reputable clinic.

Inadequate After-Care
Patients who do not properly follow after-care instructions are more likely to develop an infection. Patients should continue the after-care procedures for the full duration prescribed, even if they feel fully healed earlier.

Sensitive Skin
Patients who have sensitive skin that is prone to breakouts are also at a higher risk of infection. If you have had acne or skin irritations in the past, remember to ask about preparatory treatment, which begins prior to the procedure and greatly reduces the risk.

Misconceptions
Permanent eyeliner is not always permanent. While it cannot be removed by washing or scrubbing, fading may occur over time. The procedure may have to be repeated, putting you at risk for infection every time.

According to Arizona eye care, exposure to camps, eyeliners (permanent or not), and contact lenses make you vulnerable to pink eye, which can be caused by infections from poor hygiene in the handling of lenses, solutions, and cases. Some soft contact lens wearers can develop an abnormal immune response that cause giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC). Anyone who starts sneezing at the first sign of ragweed is familiar with allergy symptoms such as pink eye, eye irritation and itchiness related to non-contagious allergic conjunctivitis.
