Hi,
I have had hair loss on the right side and a rash on my face, could this be from the use of Refresh Tear?

Thanks

Thanks for your Question

Allergic reaction to any eye drops can be manifested with itching, swelling, red eye and excessive tearing. It is unlikely to have eyelashes loss and skin rash on the right side of the face as allergic reaction to Refresh tears.

To be sure that your condition is not caused by Refresh tears, you can ask your eye doctor if you can discontinue refresh tears for few days. If your condition starts to improve after discontinuing the eye drops, this means that refresh tears is likely to be the cause. If not, you should look for other factors.

A condition called Atopic Keratoconjunctivitis can be manifested with allergic conjunctivitis with eyelashes loss and eczema of the skin but this condition is chronic, bilateral and is caused by a wide range of environmental airborne allergens.
