Does anybody pluck their eyelashes out?

Fairly frequently (about once a week) one of my eyelashes curls inwards and scratches my eyeball. The only way to stop it happening is to pluck out the offending eyelash.

It's a nightmare, most of the time I end up blinking while I'm doing it and poking myself in the eye with the tweezers!

Am I a freak of nature? Any solutions to stop this happening?

First of all OUCH! Could you not use a heated eyelash curler to curl it the other way?

Yikes. I have had this, but not as often as once a week. Isn't it an actual illness? Maybe you could see your doctor?

I haven't tried a heated eyelash curler, but if tried a normal one and using mascara to try and put it the right way, but nothing seems to work :(

If thou eye(lash) offends thee, pluck it out. I have a random one I have to pull out with tweezers. The rogue lash.

Ah well bunnymother at least it's not just me that has dissenting lashes :)

Just need to remember steer clear of the vino before I put the tweezers anywhere near my eyes!

Down with the dissenter! actually, I have two such lashes...

HollaAtMeBaby · 13/03/2013 22:18

I have one rogue one too, and pluck it out when I remember!

I have two eyelashes that grow rogue! Optician actually recommended I pluck. Don't need to do it often but it is that or the pain of them scraping my poor eyeball!

I have them growing in the corner or my eyes I hate them, people always say "you have an eyelash in the corner of your eye" the look Shock when I say it's attached!
I pluck but it KILLS and there are floods of tears.

I get this. I either pluck or wedge it to the others with mascara
