Aaaarrgh!!! Ingrown eyelashes! Have you ever had one?

no I don't think that has ever happened to me, I have an eyelash that has gone into my eye and that is quite irritating but not and ingrown eyelash that I know about.

Ooh I hate those things, it kills me to have one stuck to my eye and won't go away.I can't tell you how many times I had ingrown eyelashes, but I can tell you that I never seen a doctor for it. I think that the times I had ingrown eyelashes, I didn't even know what it was, I just know that my eye was extremely sore and irritated. I just put some visine eye drops in my eyes like you did. Did it go away? Yes of course, after it finished driving me insane.

i too have this problem some time then i just ignore all kind of eye strain work like television ,computer, etc fore few days. this helps them not to grow again.

Oh that sounds painful ):I haven't had ingrown eyelashes but ive had ingrown hairs under my arm before and those where very painful so I cant imagine what an ingrown eyelash must feel like. I think it may just be best to go to the doctor you wouldn't want to do any permanent damage to yourself by accident.

I suffer from them, you're lucky you only had to have them plucked out, I have a lot of them and I have to have plastic surgery ever 2 years on my eyes to fully remove them, I am only 15, and I have had this problem since I was born, but I was only able to start having surgery when I was 13. They don't really irritate me because I'm used to them. I donlt feel them anymore, but they were going to make me go blind at a later age in life unless I keep having surgery. I havem learnt to live with them luckly and I don't even know their there lol. The first time I went to the optition, I wowed by surgeons and Doctors becuase I had every single eyelash going into my eye, and I couldn't feel it at all. (Apparantly I am know in a medical Journal thing for university's all over the world woohoo lol). How you can feel it know I never can. I'm sorry it's irritating you, but just go to teh optition they'll pluck it out and maybe give you eye drops. Good Luck Laura xxx

i have one right now and i'm freaking out. i don't know what to do and i'm really scared to have the eye doctor poke some alienating swords in my eyes to remove this damned eyelash.

My bro had a few of those. Actually, they can be dangerous and cause loss of vision if left long enough.

In grown eyelash? I have never heard of it, let alone have one. It must be really irritating! I thought all eyelashes grow on the outside of the eyelids. They grow on the inside too? How often do you have to go to the doctor to pluck them? You cannot do it yourself?

oh my i'd never know you could get that. years ago i had something infected my eye and it swelled and hurt terrible. the eye dr. couldnt tell what started it but fixed it up with meds. i wonder if it was that now.

I've had ingrown eyelashes for as long as I can remember. My dad had to pluck them out every month or so. My dad & my younger sister also have this condition. It can really affect your vision as the eyelash makes your eye water, tire & get really sore. I've had them burned out which doesn't work. The only solution it to pluck them out & my husband has to do it for me now. xx
