See an eye doctor to exclude damage to your cornea. Getting the offending lashes permanently removed by a professional should be a consideration.

If the eyelashes are rubbing against the eye ball, this is described as trichiasis, and could be a result of eyelid scar tissue or an eye infection. Depending how many eyelashes are involved, it may require prompt surgery. An optometrist evaluation would be advised for an eye exam.
