A member asked:
Can someone who's had a cornea transplant wear eye makeup? and would it be a problem to wipe it off by rubbing or tugging the eyelid.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, after healing: You can safely wear eye makeup if the surgery site is completely healed. If not healed, the metallic components of makeup (yes, metals are in makeup) could enter the surgical wound area and impede healing.
