Generally speaking, they may cause redness, irritation, discomfort, burning, stinging or watering of the eyes. also, severity can range from very mild irritation to extreme discomfort. by the way, it may also cause the eyelashes to grow and cause the iris to change to a darker color. so you should pay more attention to it.
