How do you get rid of an eyelash that is stuck in the back your eye?

eyelash
Betty F asked:


I tried rinsing w/ hot water but it failed.
I tried using eye drops but it failed.
I even tried crying it out...but again, it failed.

My mom says that it will come out by itself...is that true?

Is it okay to leave your eyelash in there and eventually, it will go away, fall out, or dissolve?

Thanks in advance.

yes it will come out on its own…its just a matter of when. I usually just look down and blink rapidly, that usually helps, for me anyways

It should eventually come out..just leave it alone for the time being.

As long as it's not hurting you :3

sleep on it. your mom's right. your eyes are designed to move all debris, including eyelashes and lost contacts (which can be much more dangerous and painful) to the inner corners of your eyes so you can rub it out w/ the gunk in the morning.
don't rinse w/ hot water, just cool water will be as good.

An eyelash can't hurt you. A contact, on the other hand, might…

You guys want to here something gross about eyelashes in the eye? Well, one time I got an eyelash in my eye. About a week later, it came out in my boogers, when I was blowing my nose. You know how I know it was an eyelash? It has mascara on it. LOL.. I know. Gross.

OUCH!!!!

Just leave it alone!! If you keep picking at it and messing with it you are just gonna end up with an infection!

yes it'll go away. sometimes you can feel it moving around in there but eventually it'll go to the bottom of your eye. if you can see it try to pick it out. if not just leave it it'll come out
