Last nite, my eye just hurt. I went 2 the bathroom and opened my eye lid and found a eyelash in! How do i get it out? My 'rents r always in denial, so they said 2 leave it alone. How do i get the hair out and how do i prevent this from happening again?

It is a natural occurrence and is pretty hard to avoid but you can try flushing the eye with water or lifting your upper lid tightly over your lower - hold and blink then release and open(hope that made sense) to dislodge it. If not go to the health aid at your school tomorrow and see if they can give you any helpful hints or they may even have an eyewash which is super effective. BTW it's only irritating and not in any way damaging.Good Luck.

Make a Q-tip wet, or a small piece of tissue, and pull it very gently across the area where the eyelish is. This will snag the hair up, but your eye will feel like it's still there for a few minutes until the water works its way out.

well your eyelashes will always fall out and new ones will grow so once they enter your eyes open your your lids really wide and look were the hair is located (you can use a qtip, some tissue paper, or just your finger, as long as theyre clean) and wipeout the corners of your eyes then you can use some eye drops in case your eyes get irritated.

You can either wet a Q-Tip and touch it to the eyelash to lift it out or flush your eye with warm tap water. You could just cry. That's what tears are for. I'm not sure you can prevent this from happening again. It may not. But at least now you know what to do about it.

Your 'rents are right. Your eye will flush foreign matter out. While you sleep. You could put in some eye drops and see if that washes it down to the bottom of your eye. Then you pull down on your cheek and expose the red underneath they eye. If you can see it, you can most likely tweeze it, but it will get washed out by itself. It shouldn't happen very often.

I speak from personal experience. I had this happen and it penetrated the surface of my eyeball and it was painful and irritating. I finally had to go to an eye doctor who had to use a magnifying glass to remove it. U may need to do the same.

It happens to me all the time, sometimes you just have to cry to get it out, I wouldn't waste your money going to the doctor, if the crying part doesn't work for you try some eye drops. There's no way to prevent it.

Wet the corner of a hanky or fold a soft cotton cloth and use the corner to try lightly blot the hair out.

If you let it be the eye will naturally coat it w/ goupy secretion and then push it to the corner of your eye. If you can't wait flush w/ warm water or wet the end of a Q-tip and touch it gently.

Pull your top eyelid over the bottom eyelid a few times, then wipe the corners of your eye.
