I noticed that the tradition of wearing the Veil (al-lethma) has 3 side effects:

1-The air draft coming out of the  nostrils and mouth during talking at the inner canthi increases dryness,itching and tendency of allergy. 

2-It increases crust formation and squamous blepharitis.

3-Pressure  on the globe ( cornea and sclera) by a tight lower (lethma) causes astigmatism and false cylendrical reading in the auto-refractometry, proof : when she wants to see clearly she usually pulls the lethma downward.

Dr Ibrahim also noticed:

1- Pressur on the eye lids by a tight lower lethma causing in ward direction of the  eyelashes.

2-Among the poor families, lethma is a nice and  fertile place for Insects ,lice flees and others.
