Eyelash Pointing Into Eye Posted: 09-09-04 04:10am
For a few days I have had an irritation in
my left eye - like something was in the
eye.
Today I had a really good look and noticed
that a single eyelash from my bottom
eyelid is bent back and resting on the eye
which is obviously causing the
irritation.
It is not painful and is not causing me
vision problems, but is annoying and at
times uncomfortable.
I have tried rinsing the eye and this only
works temporarily.
Is it safe to pluck the eyelash (don't
want to risk infection that close to the
eye for one) or is there anything else I
can do to rectify this?
Failing that, would you guys recommend I
see a doctor, and what will they do?

Ya, I would just pluck it! You'll probly
feel a little pinch.. But if it gets rid
of the problem, why not? I wouldn't worry
about going to the doctor.. He would
probly just end up doing the same thing.

Same Problem Posted: 12-03-04 01:21am
I have the same problem but the problem is
that it grows back. In fact the worst
part is when its very short. I can't see
it to pluck it out and its more of an
irritation when its that short.
Suggestions for permanent removal? I'd
like to keep the rest of my eyelashes
