Eyelid mites are something everyone has, they are not meant to make your eyelashes fall out. They eat the dust that gets trapped in between you eyelashes when you blink. Maybe she wears too much mascara and false eyelashes? That happened to my friend once.

I would have her thyroid checked. Hair loss, especially eyebrows is common, but lashes I'm not sure.
