Background : Nowadays, false eyelashes are used widely in adolescence to working women in Thailand. But none of those is
aware of cleaning their eyelids after peeling off false eyelashes and use no special products to remove the adhesive glue. The
residue may cause dry eyes, eyelid inflammation or infection of the cornea.
Objective : This research study compares the residue of glue along the eyelashes after using eye cleansing products alone or
combination with Ocusoft®.
Material and Method: Randomized clinical trial to collect information from all interested participants in Thammasat
University Hospital, between March to June 2015. We randomly selected eyes wipe with cleansing products and Ocusoft® and
other eyes with cleansing products and water, then took a photo to count the amount of residue glue remaining along the lashes
line. Statistical analysis use Paired t-test.
Results : All studied participants were female, mean age 31.59 years, showed no statistical significance between the eyes with
Ocusoft® and water (p-value = 0.3251).
Conclusion : There is no difference between cleaning eyelashes with Ocusoft® and cleaning lashes with water. Thus, the
cleaning of the eyelid either with water or Ocusoft® was not adequate after removal of false eyelashes.
