Is eyelash planting harmful to the eyes?
Always wanted to get eyelash extensions, but worried about harming your eyes? I've heard they can cause infections, allergies, and even lead to losing your natural lashes. Is that true? Are eyelash extensions really safe?

Generally speaking, eyelash extensions can cause certain harm to the eyes.
Eyelash extensions involve attaching artificial lashes to natural lashes to achieve the effect of increased lash density and length. If the glue or tools used during the eyelash extension process are not thoroughly disinfected, it may lead to bacterial or viral infections, causing eye diseases such as conjunctivitis and keratitis. In addition, some people may be allergic to the components in the glue used for eyelash extensions, resulting in allergic reactions such as redness, swelling, itching, and tearing.
Furthermore, improper application may cause the glue to run into the eyes, damaging the cornea and conjunctiva. Frequent eyelash extensions may also lead to the loss of one's natural lashes, affecting eye health. Therefore, when getting eyelash extensions, it is important to choose a reputable establishment, use safe false lashes and glue, and take care of your eyes by avoiding eye rubbing and excessive eye strain. If any discomfort occurs, seek medical attention promptly.
After getting eyelash extensions, avoid using mascara when applying makeup to prevent additional stress on the lashes. Also, avoid using harsh makeup removers when cleansing, to prevent irritating the eye area and accelerating lash loss.
