for some bizarre reason i seem to have gone eye bald but only on the right eye.
i have a massive gap where all my lashes have fallen out and are not regrowing.

i am under horrid amounts of stress at min but this has been like this for a good 8 weeks now - i know lashes take around 3 weeks to grow back so im now panicking slightly that im a baldy for life.

it looks weird!! ive no idea why they have fallen out - ive not used falsies and i dont pick at my mascara - i just noticed one day i seemed to be bald....and its stayed that way. i can disguise it with lashings of mascara on my remaining lashes and eyeliner but im getting a tad worried.

any ideas?

Revitalash (QVC sells it) was invented by a USA Opthamologist when his wife lost her eyelashes through illness,
It takes a while to work (I'd say 3 months for me but my eyelashes IRL are pitiful, I've seen good results)
My DSis lost eyelashes after being kicked in the eye (Martial Arts injury )

Try rubbing a little drop of castor oil along the lash line on the problematic eye and get Perfectil Skin Hair and Nails to see if that helps (3 for 2 at Boots a about £7 each). Try to reduce your stress, get enough sleep and eat well..lots of water.. Hope you feel better soon.
Just a word of warning re Revitalash - it can, apparently, in some users change the colour of the eye (blue eyes turning a strange brown etc) and can irritate some. Not trying to put you off, just wanted to make sure you knew the risks.

This has happened to me a few times over the last year where a clump of lashes fell out and took ages to grow back. They did grow back eventually.
I changed the pad in my eyelash curler after sterilising it. I also bought new mascara in case it was a bacterial thing as it happened on both eyes. I put Vaseline on my lashes last thing at night, which my Grannie used to say encouraged them to grow. Hope this helps.
