A member asked:
If you have an eye infection on one eye, does plucking all the eyelashes help with the infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, don't pluck: If one has an eye infection, plucking all the eyelashes will just make the eyelids bald (hopefully, the lashes will grow back, but one never knows for sure), but the infection will still be there.
