Pay Attention to This When Using Eye Makeup
The beauty of the eyes is one of the main attractions for many people. Not surprisingly, using eye makeup has become commonplace to improve appearance, especially for women.
Behind its beauty, eye makeup can also be dangerous for eye health if not used properly.
Excessive and unhygienic use of eye makeup can cause various eye health problems, such as infection, irritation, allergies and even permanent damage. Therefore, it is important for us to understand the safe use of eye makeup so that eye health is maintained.
“All makeup that is said to be for the eyes should actually contain ingredients that will not cause irritation, except for patients who have higher sensitivity.
This sensitivity can arise due to allergies to certain ingredients in eye makeup. This is what you have to be aware of when using any form of makeup on your eyes.
“If we look at the eye, where the upper and lower eyelashes come out, there are actually small pores which are essential places for the release of various substances needed for secretion on the surface of our eyes,”.

AI as a game changer in chronic care disease models
Artificial intelligence has entered our lives now. Whether it is through a mobile phone, a computer screen, or a television screen, we are all now being captured by AI. It has clearly made its entry into the healthcare delivery model space, particularly in chronic disease modelling. Because we can recognize diseases earlier, we know who to screen, how to screen, and what to screen. For example, if it is hypertension or blood pressure, we know that we need to measure blood pressure. How frequently should we measure blood pressure? Blood pressure measured at home is as important as being measured in the doctor’s chamber or measuring it at 24 x 7. So, artificial intelligence is allowing us to measure, screen, identify, and diagnose diseases. Once we diagnose someone with a healthcare problem like hypertension or diabetes, we know how to take it to the next level and how to take care of that
