I heard that once an eyelash falls out it doesnt grow back, but it seems like no one would really have any if that was the case. Is it true?

Eyelashes certainly grow back! Only thing, it takes a longer time than our hair to grow back.Heres a part of an article which might answer your question.........
"Individual eyelashes fall out all the time. People who wear contact lenses know this fact all too well. Eyelashes take about four to eight weeks to grow back. These tiny hairs (with help from their cousins to the north) protect your eyes from dust and sweat -- you'd definitely notice a difference if you were to lose them.
According to Yahoo! Health, the medical term for the severe loss of eyelashes is madarosis. People who suffer from hypothyroidism (an underperforming thyroid gland) often lose their eyelashes in small clumps. Damaging an eyelash follicle, or the small cavity that grows the hair, can also affect future eyelash growth."
Hope that helped!

Don't worry eyelashes do grow back. They usually grow back at the same rate as the hair on your head. Factors that affect eyelash growth and thickness are age, some type of trauma, stress, and depression.
If you are worried about your eyelashes falling out then you should be careful not to increase the rate they fall out. Stop wiping at your eyes either with your hands or with a towel or tissue. This will pull out more eyelashes than those that fall out naturally. Always be gentle in and around your eyes

No, your eyelashes grow back. That's why you have some smaller lashes (lashes that have fallen out and are growing back). Your eyelashes and eyebrows are made of the same hairs, and since eyebrow hairs always grow back, your eyelashes will too.

Eyelash curlers will weaken your eyelashes, yet won't reason any extreme injury, until eventually you utilize it after the mascara. i might in basic terms recommend utilising them from time to time, as I do. in case you've curled eyelashes on a daily foundation, some mascaras curl your eyelashes.
