Can eye lashes get lost in your eyes?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: The eye lashes can get inside the space between the outer conjunctiva of the eyelid and the outer conjunctiva of the eyeball but cannot enter the eyeball. Everting the lids makes it easy to remove the eyelashes.

Yes: An eye lash often will get caught in the superior or inferior sulcus, where it may get stuck between the eyelid and eyeball. Occasionally, an eyelash will poke through the conjunctiva into the subconjunctival space and need to be surgically removed.
