Artificial lashes linked to eye infections
A recent study has shown that the frequent application and extension of artificial eyelashes are associated with an increased prevalence of Demodex mites, which can cause inflammation and irritation around the eye area. The results indicated that 96% of women who regularly use false eyelashes (17 times per year) were found to have mites, with symptoms such as itching, redness, and swelling. Additionally, it was observed that 85% of women who had eyelash extensions at least 10 times suffer from blocked or non-producing oil glands, which are essential for moisturizing the eyes—this condition may elevate the risk of chronic eye infections. The study recommends monitoring symptoms, maintaining eye and eyelid cleanliness, avoiding sharing cosmetics, and consulting a doctor if any unusual changes or symptoms appear.
