What Causes Redness Of Skin After Changing The Glass?
A year ago I changed to titanium eye glass frames. I have had a lot of redness on my skin surrounding my eyes since then. I have changed shampoo etc as my doctor said I have an allergy to something. Could the glasses be affecting my skin? Kind Regards, Julie

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that it may be related to the material in the glasses especially if you noticed the symptoms after you started the new glasses.
It may be possible to do an allergy test to determine the source of your allergies.
Allergy testing can assess for reactions for different substances, you can ask your doctor whether the lab available to you can also check for titanium sensitivity.
If it is the source then you would need to change the glass frames.
I hope this helps
