You can avoid this by adhering to a few simple guidelines and using common sense in your makeup application. Bacteria and fungus can proliferate if cosmetics are used for longer than suggested.

Diabetic eye disease has no apparent symptoms in its early stages; only a comprehensive eye exam can discover indic ators of the disease early enough to avoid vision loss.
