I don't think it's true AT ALL! I've been wearing eyeliner for many, many, many years now and I have perfect vision!

In fact, I've heard that if you use kajal or surma [Indian/Paki eyeliner], it actually improves your eyes! 😕

I don't believe that it affects eyesight either. Infact (Like Reema_J) said traditionally, wearing kajal/ surma is supposed to give you better vision.
I have found a link about eyeliner affecting your eyesight but it only briefly states it.

INDIVIDUALS WITH OILY SKIN CAUSING MAKEUP TO SMEAR, OR SOMEONE WITH SMALL EYES NEEDING DEFINITION, CONTACT WEARERS AND THOSE WITH POOR EYESIGHT OR ALLERGIES MAY BENEFIT FROM PERMANENT EYELINER

The normal eyeliner (liquid or pencil) shouldn't really affect your eyesight if you apply it correctly. ie. It should only be applied to the skin below/above your eyelashes and not too close that it is applied to the inside.

Absolutely... also, models, actresses, etc would be blind by the age of 35 if it did affect eyesight...😕

That is very interesting.   I do think eye makeup if it gets on contact lenses may interfere with it, make it dirty etc.   But kajal itself prevents infection by cleansing the eyelid and enourages growth of lashes.  It is Ayurvedic.
