You must be aware of the possible imminent risks and take precautionary measures
A beauty trend, false eyelashes are a popular option for many people who want to enhance their eyes, leaving a more striking and sophisticated look, but care must be taken when using them. Anytime there is a foreign object near the eye area, there is a potential risk of problems and there is little cure.
The main risk associated with using false eyelashes is the possibility of damaging your natural eyelashes. Improper application and removal of eyelashes can strip and damage natural eyelashes, resulting in hair loss and permanent damage.
Additionally, the glue used to attach eyelashes can cause allergic reactions in some people, causing eye swelling and irritation.
Another factor may be associated with the possibility of infection. If false eyelashes are not sanitized properly before application, bacteria and germs can accumulate, which can lead to eye infections, including allergic conjunctivitis.

Blepharitis, a non-contagious inflammation that affects the eyelids, is also a recurring problem for those who abuse eyelash extensions without proper treatment.
“The disease can present itself in an infectious and allergic form, and the symptoms can be itching, burning, redness and edema, and can also lead to irritation, tearing, foreign body sensation and slight discomfort,” explains André Borba, ophthalmologist and specialist in surgery eyelid reconstruction and aesthetics.
According to the Brazilian Society of Ophthalmology, two out of ten women who use a large amount of eye makeup and accessories experience eye problems.
What to do in case of eye irritation
In situations of allergic reactions in the eye area, such as itching, burning and swelling, following the use of false eyelashes, the ideal is to adopt hygienic procedures to alleviate the symptoms:
- • Make compresses such as saline solution;
- • Wash the eye area thoroughly with neutral soap and plenty of water;
- • Consult the ophthalmologist as soon as possible to verify that there are no more serious damages.
Using false eyelashes can be an option for beautification, but you need to be aware of possible imminent risks and take precautionary measures to minimize them.
It is advisable to choose a qualified professional to carry out the procedure, use quality products and do not forget about daily cleaning. In apparent cases of allergic reactions, the right thing is to seek help from a specialist doctor.
