Question 1

i have an eyelash in tge corner of my eye, i simply cannot remove. it seems to be stuck what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Try a cotton tip: If you can see it, it means you can apply onto it a cotton tip applicator which will usually cause the lash to stick to the cotton and remove it.   Otherwise perhaps you have a friend who can get it out with the cotton tip.

Question 2

i got an eyelash strand stuck in the corner lid of my eye..having trouble getting it out. will my body naturally get it out if i cant?

Maybe: If you wet a q-tip and drag it over the lash you can usually draw it off the inner eyelid surface. Get close to a mirror and coax it out.Otherwise this will be quite distracting.

Yes.: If is not bothering you it will come out with your next warm shower/shampoo.   You could also try some saline drops or Visine, but best to let it come out on its own.

Accepted Answer

Staph : Staph aureus is a common bacteria naturally found on all of our eye lids.  However, i assume you are talking about a special version of staph called mrsa.  This referrs to this bacteria's resistance to many of the commonly used antibiotics today.  While your symptoms do not sound serious currently, the things to look for are redness, foriegn body sensation, blurry vision or mucous discharge.  Redness or lumps around the eye lids also should raise concern as well.  The important thing is to keep your hands away from your eyes (no rubbing), wash your hands often and wash all of the clothes you used at the gym that day to prevent contaminating your home.

At the sign of any of the above symptoms or if any concerns come up, see a qualified ophthalmologist in your area.

Question 10

my right eye: itch (eye corner and in place where eyelashes grow up), feel something in eye corner, continously eye muscle contraction, what is disease ?

Accepted Answer

Multiple causes: Itching in the corners of the eyes is often related to allergy. Itching on the edge of the eyelids where the lashes grow is often related to blepharitis. Rapid muscle contractions of the lid is called blepharospasm and can have several causes. You need to see your ophthalmologist to examine your eyes for these conditions, to determine your correct diagnoses and the best course of therapy.
