It is common to rub your eyes and lose a few eyelashes. But losing more than 70 eyelashes at one time is not only distressing, but also related to eye health. It is reported that a few days ago, when a woman in Jiangxi washed her face, she found a black foreign body in the corner of her eye. She thought it was a bug, but she didn’t expect to find it with her hand. It turned out to be a bunch of eyelashes, and there were 74 after careful counting! The incident quickly triggered a heated discussion, and some netizens teased: There are not so many eyelashes in both eyes! Others are very concerned about whether the eyelashes will fall into the depths of the eyes after falling off.
According to experts, the shedding of eyelashes is a normal physiological metabolism phenomenon. "After the eyelashes fall off, they sometimes fall into the eyes, but because the eyeball is a closed structure, the eyelashes will not enter the depths of the eyes." Peng Qi, deputy chief physician of the Department of Ophthalmology, Air Force Hospital of Eastern Theater, said in an interview that most eyelashes may be discharged with tears or washed out by clean water. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to worry too much about the shedding of a small amount of eyelashes.
However, it should be noted that a large number of eyelashes fall off, which may be related to vitamin deficiency, mite infection, planting false eyelashes and so on. "Lack of vitamins and trace elements, especially vitamins A and B, may lead to the fragility and shedding of eyelashes." Director Peng said that mite infection at the root of eyelashes is also a common cause of eyelash shedding. "Mites are common parasites on human skin. If mites (especially demodex) breed at the root of eyelashes, it will cause eye inflammation, redness, dryness, itching and other symptoms, which will lead to a large number of eyelashes falling off, and even cause keratitis and conjunctivitis."

In recent years, many women are keen on planting false eyelashes and thick eyelashes, which usually have the effect of "enlarging" the eyes. However, repeated planting of false eyelashes may cause a series of eye health problems. "False eyelashes are usually made of animal hair, which may cause inflammatory reactions if they are not disinfected thoroughly or used improperly; In addition, frequent eyelash planting may also damage your hair follicles, leading to abnormal eyelash growth and even further aggravating eyelash shedding. " Director Peng explained.
Under normal circumstances, people have 100 to 150 eyelashes. "Because of individual differences, everyone’s situation is different. With the increase of age, the growth cycle of hair slows down and the shedding of eyelashes will increase. " Director Peng said that patients with inverted eyelashes may also have frequent eyelashes falling off. "Generally, eyelashes should grow outward to protect the eyes. However, some patients’ eyelashes grow inward and easily rub against the cornea and conjunctiva, resulting in damage or shedding of corneal epithelial cells. Patients often feel foreign body sensation in the eyes, and there will be symptoms such as tears and redness. "
Experts remind that if a large number of eyelashes fall off accompanied by symptoms such as redness and dryness of eyes, it is recommended to go to the hospital for investigation in time. "If it is caused by mite infection, first carry out professional mites treatment and then carry out anti-inflammatory treatment. Every day, you can use mites wipes containing tea tree oil and other ingredients for auxiliary cleaning, while maintaining eye hygiene and reducing the breeding of mites. " Peng Qi said that for the slight problem of inverted eyelashes, inverted eyelashes can be removed regularly; In severe cases, surgical correction may be needed. He also stressed that when planting or wearing false eyelashes, you should also choose regular products and ensure that they are fully disinfected.
