For Yag, or another eye doc on here: Is it OK to wear make-up while recovering from Iritis?

I've been on treatment for 7 days and have not worn eye make-up. I was worried that removing the make-up (rubbing eyes) might worsen the condition, but I really don't look forward to going without make up for several weeks. Will you comment please? Thank You.

Thanks, Paul!

Iritis is an inflammation of the uveal coat of the eye, the iris is the front part. Most with irits also have uveitis which is further back, but some keep the whole inflammatory thing located in front.

Using eye makeup won't cause you any harm. Make sure you use clean Mascara and change the tube every week or so as there are some mean, mean bacteria that grow in mascara. Be careful not to rub your eyeball, just gently apply your makeup to the lids....you'll be fine.
