Might be infected: Inturned eyelashes can cause an amazing amount of irritation, but it is possible that an infection set in even in spite of getting the eyelash out. You can try using a warm compress over the closed eye and gently cleaning to see if that clears away any residual debris. OTC artificial tears might also help. If the symptoms persist, you might need an antibiotic eye drop or ointment to use.
