A member asked:
Can i wear a bit of mascara to work if i have blepharitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I say no: Try to use as little as possible on your eyelids to reduce inflammation. Once the swelling is gone for a week or so you can try it. But remember your eyelids could be swollen for a reason. If you have fever or vision loss see a eye doctor.
