Safe to pluck: Hi, sorry to hear about your eye irritation. In this circumstance, you may safely pluck the eyelash from your eyelid. 1. Use a warm, moist wash cloth for 10-15 minute to soften up the skin. 2. Use a clean set of tweezers to pluck it out. This will cause a temporary discomfort as with anytime a hair is pulled, but it will put an end to the eye irritation. Good Luck!
