    If your lashes are growing toward your eyes, you can use an eyelash curler to gently redirect them. If an eyelash comes loose and falls in your eye, flush with water to rinse out.

    No, but they do keep dirt and debris out of your eyes. Without them, your eyes would get scratched and dry.

    You shouldn't pluck your eyelashes and I'm not sure why you would want to. The follicles are very delicate and they take a long time to grow back.
  • Question
    What do you do if you cannot tell if it's an eyelash or dirt in your eye?
    Community Answer
    Flush your eye. Either way, the eyelash or dirt will come out of your eye. If you can, try to cry as this will help the debris to come out.

    It will typically take about 6 weeks for the eyelash to grow back in if it's cut or burned but there's no damage to the follicle or eyelid.
