July is Dry Eye Awareness Month … So what better time to discuss how our beauty, hygiene, and anti-aging routines can impact our eye health.

Along with internationally renowned eyelid & cosmetics surgeons Dr. Rachna Murthy and Professor Jonathan Roos, we are launching a series of conversations, translating the TFOS Lifestyle Report on Cosmetics, debunking many myths about cosmetics, and discussing how cosmetics and practices must be eye-safe.
