What should I do if I feel eyelash poking my eyes when I blink?
Hello; Your symptoms may be trichiasis, that is, the eyelashes turn inside your eyes. Most of them are caused by conjunctival scar contraction caused by trachoma. Blepharitis and trauma can also cause trichiasis. Trichiasis rubs the conjunctiva and cornea, causing foreign body sensation, shame, tears, blepharospasm, conjunctival congestion, corneal opacity or corneal ulcer.

If it is trichiasis, if the situation is not serious, you can order some antibiotic eye ointment. If the whole row of eyelashes is trichiasis and the eyelids are inverted, surgical correction can be considered. Generally speaking, you can wait until you are two years old.

Surgical correction of trichiasis is the "last chance" to prevent blindness caused by trachoma and the most urgent action. There are many surgical methods to correct trichiasis, but one operation is called double tarsal rotation, which is simple and has a high success rate.
