Summary
Does make-up cause the conditions that affect a person's eyes? If make-up is not properly removed, it can clog oil glands, causing infections and styes on the eyelid and pimples on your face. Also, contaminated make-up is one of the prime causes of recurring blepharitis.
In this episode, we will discuss three of the main infections you might see in your patient: stye, chalazions and blepharitis. We will also go over the main pathogens of eye infections and the best treatments for each infection.
Join Dr. Niket Sonpal, the eye enthusiast, as he keeps our windows to the soul nice and clear.

| 0:00.0 | If the eyes are the windows to the soul, that makes the soul a house. |
| 0:04.0 | And what kind of house is it when it only has two windows? |
| 0:06.8 | It might be pretty dark inside and you might be wondering why am I bringing up this quote |
| 0:11.2 | and kind of depressing you at the beginning of this podcast. |
| 0:14.0 | Well, it actually has a deeper meaning. |
| 0:17.0 | The eyes being the only two ways into your soul have to be taken well care of, |
| 0:22.0 | and there are a lot of things that can mess up your eyes. |
| 0:25.0 | And so in this week's podcast, we're going to talk about a few things that can happen to your patient's eyelids. |
| 0:30.0 | That's right, there are all kinds of conditions, specifically three to four that come up time and time again with your patients and they're always wondering what to do about them. |
| 0:40.0 | So in this podcast, let's put our patients at ease and take care of those few things |
| 0:44.8 | that can happen to the windows of their souls. Because if they don't, they're going to |
| 0:48.8 | get bags under their eyes and we don't want that either. So join me in this podcast where we talk about styes, |

| 1:26.2 | And those bags under their eyes are nothing more than like potter plants outside those windows |
| 1:30.3 | to the soul. |
| 1:31.3 | And so therefore we really got to think about things that can really help them get over these conditions. |
| 1:35.0 | Now speaking of bags under your eyes, I recently discovered this sort of topical serum that you can put under your eyes and it's slightly tinted which is pretty amazing because it covers up the dark |
