Frequent eyelash loss is an abnormal phenomenon and may be caused by localized follicular malnutrition, deficiency of trace elements in the body, or inflammation of the meibomian glands. Additionally, prolonged mental stress can also contribute to eyelash shedding. It is recommended to undergo trace element testing and ophthalmic examination to determine the underlying cause. Daily attention to dietary nutrition is also important.
