A product is defined as ophthalmologically tested when it has been tested in the periocular area, that is, around the eyes, through accurate scientific tests. Its task is to evaluate, according to certain parameters and observation times, the possible onset of redness or swelling.
When you find the wording ophthalmologically tested on a cosmetic box, it means that the cosmetic product has passed the sensitivity test.
It often happens that we find ourselves with swollen and burning eyes in the morning, and feel like a fog inside. This can be caused by the entry of eye contour cream into the periocular area of the eyes, accidentally during the evening and then staying there during the night. It is easy for a face cream to come into contact with the eyes, but if it is tested for this area, it never causes burning, redness, or discomfort.
It should be noted that this test is not mandatory, so we must look for it on the packaging.
If we have sensitive eyes, suffer from other allergies, or wear contact lenses, we must be even more careful about this wording.
For these reasons, I chose to perform the test on the Lumea cosmetics eye contour, to make it safe even for this very sensitive area.
