How could she even allow something like this? Because of her own laziness she nearly went blind!
Almost every woman who looks after her beauty knows how important it is to thoroughly remove makeup and cleanse the skin before going to bed. This Australian woman didn’t properly remove her eye makeup for half of her life — she came close to losing her sight!
Theresa Lynch (50) from Sydney sought medical attention after her eyes began to itch and hurt unbearably.
She tried various over-the-counter eye drops, but nothing helped
When the doctor discovered during the examination what had caused Theresa’s problem, he couldn’t believe it
Constantly applying waterproof mascara, which she never properly removed, caused its clumps to gradually accumulate under her eyelids. This layer of pigment and dirt gradually damaged her eyes and the woman was very lucky that doctors managed to save her sight.
“My eyelids were swollen, heavy and painful. I shouldn’t have let it go this far,” adds the woman, who realized what she had done only when the doctor told her she could have gone blind.
Theresa, together with the doctors, decided to make her damaged eyes public so they would be a strong warning to other women.
Phew, this really is strong stuff!
