What Causes Eye Irritation After A Microneedling Procedure On The Face?

I am a 66-year-old female. About two months ago, after a micro-needling procedure to promote collagen growth on my face and neck, I began having an allergic reaction to some skin care products and soap, which I am not using. I treated the condition with a cortisone cream. Coinciding with that, my right eye seemed to be irritated and drier than usual, and over the last month, I have begun having some distortion, near and far, over the entire field of vision. When I blink, the vision is clearer momentarily. I am getting worried about it. Another thing that I have been using for about five months is Latisse, for encouraging eyelash growth. There is some pinkness and the surface of the eye feels irritated, although not as if there were an eyelash or object in it.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

It is quite common after similar procedure and generally, settle by itself.

As of now, you can take antihistamines like Pheniramine for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist, then you can consult an ophthalmologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
