When experiencing ingrown eyelashes, avoid rubbing your eyes with your hands to prevent infection. Depending on the number and severity of the ingrown lashes, different treatment methods may be chosen. If only a few lashes are affected, you may follow medical advice to try plucking them out; however, note that the hair follicles remain and the lashes may regrow. If there are many ingrown lashes or symptoms are severe, it is recommended to visit an ophthalmologist at a hospital, where treatments such as electrolysis, radiofrequency ablation, or surgery might be necessary. Please follow your doctor's recommendations during treatment to ensure safety and effectiveness.
