eyelash problems

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone! Happy new year. Just thought I would let everyone know

about a procedure I had done about a 2 months ago to help with the

bothersome eyelashes that were growing into my eyes and irritating them.

My eye surgian numbed my eyelids and froze the inner lower lids to

kill the hair follicals. I used to have to sit for hours and pluck

them, and to me that is the worst torture ever. I might have to have

the procedure one more time but just after the first time it is so

much better. well just thought I would let everyone know about this

option for this problem because my eye doctor said it is very common

with people with BPES.

Hey, so NOW you tell me an easier way to fix trichiasis! My son went

through two traumatic entropion operations to fix that problem. And my

optometrist plucked my lower lashes for me (gee, thanks) at my last

visit. Ow!

But it is indeed common with BPES. With my son & me it is apparently due

to the lower lid being very thin (and the lashes very fine) so the

lashes grow in random directions (like INWARDS, for example). Thanks for

the tip.
