The Hidden Dangers of ACCUTANE and RETINOL on the Eye
Learn about the potentially irreversible side effects of Accutane and retinol on the eye!
While vitamin A is known for its beneficial effects on skin health, it's crucial to exercise caution when using skincare products containing high levels of this vitamin, such as retinol creams. Excessive exposure to vitamin A in the form of retinoids, particularly oral medications such as Accutane (isotretinoin), may contribute to the development of irreversible dry eye disease. Retinoids can disrupt the delicate balance of tear production and evaporative loss, leading to a reduction in the quantity and quality of oil layers of the tears. This imbalance can result in symptoms such as dryness, irritation, and discomfort in the eyes. It's advisable to use vitamin A-containing skincare products with caution and, if concerned, consult with a dermatologist or ophthalmologist to ensure proper eye health and avoid potential complications.
