For many years, the doctors said that I either had eczema on my eyes (and had me put on cremes on the eyelids or eye drops, but neither one worked) or said that the problem is a mental one (that the problem wasn't real). My mom believed the latter until one day I got her to take a look at a lash I had to pull out (she looked to humor me). After she looked closely, she asked, "Why does this lash have two heads?" and took this a lot more seriously.
Other lashes I had to pull looked like it was split in many directions, One was shaped like a small T, some would be split in two directions, some in three or four directions with a white crust over the split parts, one looked like a feather duster, another looked like a tuning fork, and some had huge lumps in the middle that looked like clear plastic (those were painful). Most also looked very dry and stick-like on one side and huge, wet and plump on the other (either white or black or both on the plump part). I call them stingers, because they sting when I blink and sting when I rub my eyes, and the last kind I described I call Plumpers for obvious reasons.
Any idea what's really wrong with these mutated lashes of mine?View Thread
