Eyelash in Daughter's Eye Causing Irritation

My mom worked for an eye doctor many years ago. She would get two qtips and put a little neosporin or vasaline (check label) on one so that you don't get cotton in her eye. Gently grab her eyelashes with the dry q-tip on her lid above the lash line and flip her lid inside out. I know it sounds gross. Then get the eyelash out with the other q-tip. You could also just wet the q-tip if you are worried about vasalene. If you don't want to try this or if she won't be still for you just take her to the urgent care and they can do it. It needs to come out before it irratates her eye to much.

Jeris has a good recommendation. We have also used eye drops (non medicated) to wash the lash out.

Good luck.

Don't want to scare you, but we had this happen to my daughter as an infant. Because even your eyelashes have the potential to scratch your cornia, you need to have her checked out at the physician or opthamologist office, even if you get it out yourself. They place a dropper of dye in her eye and look at it under a black light.

If not scratched, great! If it is, it may affect her eye health or sight. Peace of mind about it = priceless!

Hope she's okay,

I would try washing it out with some artificial tears, and if I couldn't get it out, take her to urgent care and let them do it. Poor thing!

Good luck!
