Kajal application
I have a 4 month old baby and i don't apply kajal in his eyes as some water comes from his eyes from time to time.
But my family and relatives give me a hard time saying that kajal will make his eyes bigger or they will be small .
Is there any truth in that?
Does applying kajal really make eyes big?

No it doesn't increase the eye size

No,it will just make the eyes look big.
It can lead to dacryocystitis in later life, because it will get mixed with tears and block the small ducts .
