A member asked:
Could a eyelash get stuck in your eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This occurs occasionally. You can often find it by pulling the upper or lower lid directly out and examining it closely.If you touch it with the cotton end of a wet q-tip you can usually drag it out and pull it away from the eyeball.
