Odds on it detecting mascara or eyelashes or some other makeup? Retinal photos have to go through the front of the eye, after all.

- terramex 6y agoIf there ever was mascara on your retina you better be going to the hospital quickly.

- Blikkentrekker 6y agoIt's entirely possible that it reduces the amount of light that enters the retina on averaqe, thus affecting the picture.
- YeGoblynQueenne 6y agoThat's a bit of an exaggeration. Mascara in the eye happens very often, to me anyway. What's really painful is the hairs off the mascara brush detaching and insinuating themselves under the eylid. That. hurts.
- capableweb 6y agoAs this is HN, the previous comment is to be take literally and pedantically, as is tradition. They are talking about mascara on the retina (inside your eye), not just mascara on the outside. Mascara on your retina would most likely end up in a hospital visit. The first question? How the fuck you manage to get mascara on your retina?!
- hermitdev 6y ago> Mascara on your retina would most likely end up in a hospital visit. ... And likely blindness. The retina is the inside of the back of your eye, where the optic nerve attaches. If you have mascara on your retina, it means you have punctured your eye. Having something between your cornea and eye lid, while extremely irritating and painful - especially if a scratch results, is far, far less painful than having something puncture your cornea. Trust me, I've had surgery behind the cornea and had the anesthesia wear off.
