Had a bad eye infection in both eyes about six years ago. First eye doctor incorrectly diagnosed it as just being irritation and gave me steroid drops to help. My eyes would get so inflamed and itchy that I would constantly pull out my eyelashes because I though they were in my eyes and that was what was irritating them. About a year later, I saw another eye doctor that told me I had an infection in both eyes and gave me antibiotics and it went away. However, ever since then, I have this predeliction for pulling out my eyelashes. I don't really go after the ones on my bottom lids, but my top lids are constantly under attack and are starting to get to the point where they are not growing back in spots. I'm desperate to stop this but I think may have gotten to the point where this is now a nervous tick (ie. I do it when I'm nervous or under pressure, etc...) and I don't want to look like a freak with no eyelashes. Has anyone ever had experience with this and/or have any adivce?
