What To Do With Annoying Eyelashes

About this video

A short educational talk about misdirected and otherwise troublesome eyelashes. Flanary explains trichiasis, eyelash loss, and an extra row of lashes, noting causes including chemotherapy, and why lashes rubbing the cornea hurt so much. He describes plucking as a temporary fix and electrocautery as a more permanent option, and reassures viewers that lost lashes do not collect behind the eye, though they can lodge in the tear drainage opening.

Key takeaways

• Flanary presents trichiasis as the most common eyelash malposition he discusses
• He explains corneal irritation as the main problem when lashes point inward
• Plucking is described as temporary because lashes regrow; follicle destruction is more durable
• This is general education, not personal medical advice
