Eyelashes In My Eyes

Tweet

Sometimes I wake up with eyelashes in my eyes, making my eyes water and sting as soon as I open my eyes. This morning was one of them. I stumbled into the bathroom blinking hard, opened my eyes wide, and peered into the mirror. Both of my eyes had tiny clumps, yes clumps, of eyelashes floating in my eyes. I was blinking hard trying to get rid of them naturally, but it wasn't working at all. They were determined to stay in my eyes. I ended up turning on the faucet and rinsing my eyes out with cold water. It took a few minutes to get them all out. I blinked multiple times to make sure they were out. My eyes stopped stinging immediately. I looked down at my sink and there were multiple clumps of eyelashes sticking together at the bottom of the sink. It was really disturbing because I've never had clumps like this. I only wake up to a couple eyelashes in my eyes now and then. Sometimes I wake up with clumps of eyelashes sprinkled across my cheeks, but not like this. Not in my eyes. My conclusion is that my eyelashes are falling out. Yes, that's right. I think I'm losing my eyelashes due to stress and other health problems. I don't wear mascara and I'm not obsessed with long eyelashes so I don't care, but it's still disturbing and painful because they end up in my eyes. I'm going to have to ask about my eyelashes on Friday when I see my doctor.
