Eye Examination

Eye examination recommendations:
One before 5 years of age to check for childhood problems and then on an as-needed basis (vision problems or injuries) up to 19 years of age. One exam in your 20s, and two in your 30s can identify problems which may benefit from early treatment. After 40 years of age to every two to four years; after age 60, every one to two years.

Eye make up precautions

Never share your kajal, eyeliner or mascara — even with your best friends. You can spread bacteria that cause eye infections. Also, be wary of samples at cosmetic counters.
Make sure you discard all eye makeup that has been opened for more than a year, even if it has not passed its ‘best before’ date. Clean your make-up brushes regularly. Remove all traces of eye make-up before you sleep. Use hypoallergenic, oil-free eye makeup removers.
