Eye cosmetics usage is commonplace and whilst some products such as eyeliner are applied with close proximity to the ocular surface, there is little knowledge of the short- and long-term ocular effects of eye cosmetic formulations. This study aimed to investigate the use of eye cosmetics and identify any relationships between ocular comfort and cosmetic usage.
Results were collated from an online survey comprising 23 questions that recorded demographics, Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score, extent and range of eye cosmetic use and perceived comfort differences with and without eye cosmetics.
The 1360 female respondents (median age 25, interquartile range 20-34 years) completed the survey; 83% reported using eye cosmetics regularly (≥ 3 times per week) with mascara being most commonly used. Fifty three per cent used at least three different eye cosmetics products regularly. OSDI scores of cosmetics users were similar to non-users (p = 0.083), but perceived comfort was greater when cosmetics were not used (p < 0.001). In occasional cosmetics users (use of products < 3 times per week), 65% reported a reduction in comfort when cosmetics were used. Median OSDI scores suggested a trend towards reduced comfort amongst eyeliner users (p = 0.07) although frequency and type of cosmetic products used did not appear to influence OSDI scores.
This study shows the use of multiple eye cosmetics is extensive and associated with the perception of ocular discomfort. With such widespread use of these products, more research is required to assess the effect on the ocular surface and tear film, which may be underestimated.
眼部化妆品的使用很普遍，虽然有些产品，如眼线笔，是在靠近眼部表面的地方使用，但对于眼部化妆品配方的短期和长期眼部影响知之甚少。本研究旨在调查眼部化妆品的使用情况，并确定眼部舒适度与化妆品使用之间的关系。
结果来自一项在线调查，该调查由 23 个问题组成，记录了人口统计学数据、眼表面疾病指数（OSDI）评分、眼部化妆品使用的程度和范围，以及有无眼部化妆品时的舒适度差异。
1360 名女性受访者（中位数年龄 25 岁，四分位距 20-34 岁）完成了调查；83%的人定期使用眼部化妆品（每周≥3 次），其中最常用的是睫毛膏。53%的人定期使用至少三种不同的眼部化妆品。化妆品使用者的 OSDI 评分与非使用者相似（p=0.083），但不用化妆品时舒适度更高（p<0.001）。在偶尔使用化妆品的人群（每周使用产品<3 次）中，65%的人报告说使用化妆品时舒适度降低。中位数 OSDI 评分表明，眼线笔使用者的舒适度呈下降趋势（p=0.07），尽管使用化妆品的频率和类型似乎并没有影响 OSDI 评分。
本研究表明，多种眼部化妆品的使用非常广泛，并与眼部不适的感觉有关。由于这些产品的广泛使用，需要更多的研究来评估它们对眼表面和泪膜的影响，而这些影响可能被低估了。
