A member asked:

Can an eyelash in your eye cause you any harm or pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually not: Eyelashes constantly are renewing themselves and frequently will fall into the eye. Tears normally allow them to exit the eye and they soften the lash so you don't feel it. You do not have to worry about this.
