Allergic contact dermatitis from eyeglasses is often caused by metals and plastics. Plasticizers and UV stabilizers are the most frequent culprits in these reactions.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a common skin reaction.
  • Eyeglasses are frequently used medical devices that come into contact with facial skin.
  • Identifying allergens in eyeglasses is crucial for managing ACD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the literature on allergic contact dermatitis caused by eyeglasses.
  • To categorize the various allergens found in eyeglass components.
  • To highlight the most prevalent allergens responsible for ACD in eyeglass wearers.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted.
  • Studies reporting ACD related to eyeglasses were analyzed.
  • Identified allergens were grouped into categories.

Main Results:

  • Common allergens include metals, plastics, plasticizers, solvents, UV stabilizers, antioxidants, dyes, and waxes.
  • Plasticizers and UV stabilizers are identified as the most frequent causes of allergic reactions.
  • Various components of eyeglasses can elicit an immune response.

Conclusions:

  • Eyeglass components are significant triggers for allergic contact dermatitis.
  • Plasticizers and UV stabilizers require particular attention in the diagnosis and prevention of eyeglass-related ACD.
  • Further research may be needed to explore novel materials and hypoallergenic alternatives.
