Question 1

travatanz made my eyelashes grow against my eyeball. i've been changed to combigan. will my new lashes go away?

Accepted Answer

Reversible: There is evidence that the changes in eyelashes induced by Travatan is reversible. This may take months unfortunately as it has to do with changes in the hair growth cycle. Good luck.

Question 2

my eyelashes have fallen out in a small patch on one eye. it has been a couple of weeks and they don't seem to be growing back! what should i do?

Accepted Answer

EYELASHES FALLING: This could be due to many things. There is a condition known as alopecia areata that can affect eyelashes as well as other hairy areas. It could also be a result of unconsciously pulling them out. This is known as trichotillomania.
A dermatologist is your bet bet to see for this.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Usually will grow ba: And often takes in the order of seven to eight weeks. Repetitive trauma can retard or totally prevent regrowth though.

Question 4

what do you suggest if my eyelashes are growing into my eye?

Accepted Answer

Trichiasis: There are multiple options for this that an ophthalmologist can offer. Temporizing method is to remove them manually but they grow back in weeks. Radiofrequency ablation and cryotherapy works well. If it is because the eyelid itself is turning in, then an oculoplastic surgeon can repair this. In the meantime ointments or a bandage clear contact lens help protect your cornea from lashes. Good luck.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Trichiasis: Pluck them. Treat any inflammation of the eyelid. Have surgery to reposition the eyelid so that the lashes don't poke your eye. Good luck.

Question 6

i have eyelashes growing in the duct of my eye and it is painful as well as decreasing my vision. what can i do about it?

Trichiasis: Misdirected lashes or trichiasis can be corrected by epilation (pulling them), electrolysis, cryotherapy (freezing), or surgical correction.  See an eye doctor.

Question 7

i use the scissors to cut the end of my eyelashes because it always get in my eye.how lond doses it take for them to grow back?

Depends: They generally  grow a little slower than your hair. I hope this finds you well. You should be back to normal within 6 to 8 weeks

Question 8

i was in a car accident years ago have a problem with eyelashes growing in weird, aggravates eye alot. what can i do about this?

Accepted Answer

See ophthalmologist: Without knowing the exact injury that lead to this problem, I suggest seeking consultation with an ophthalmologist to examine the lid closely and look for the cause and possible treatment, up to and  including  eyelid surgery.  It may be a minor procedure and will relieve this for good.

Question 9

is it possible for an ingrown eyelash to grow around your whole eye and wrap around more than once? ive pulled out a few really really long ones

Accepted Answer

Not possible: Lashes grow to a certain length and then fall out.  This is true even for ingrown lashes.  It will not grow around the eye.

Question 10

i have 2-3 eyelashes that grow down and are bothersome. they irritate my eyes. can i stop them from growing like that?

Accepted Answer

Trichiasis: Trichiasis is a common eyelid abnormality in which the eyelashes are misdirected and grow inwards toward the eye. They can rub against different parts of the eye which, understandably, is irritating. It can be caused by an eye infection, inflammation of the eyelid, autoimmune conditions or trauma. You can't stop it but offending eyelashes can be removed sometimes with surgery. See your Eye Doctor.
