What happens if i don't remove an eyelash that is stuck behind eyelid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spontaneous discharg: You grow a new set of eyelashes every three months, so you are shedding them constantly. If they fall in the eye, they quickly take on water from the tears, soften and wash out. They are rarely the source of irritation or problems.
