A member asked:

Eyelashes are falling out on both eyes in patches?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Some possibilities: There are several possible reasons for eye lash loss. When we age lashes often grow shorter or fall out. Excessive rubbing or even pulling the lashes does not help/ chronic inflammation or infection ( dry eye or blepharitis) may be a cause.
