Your doctor recommends an ophthalmologic evaluation before performing the procedure; the professional and the material used should also be evaluated
The plan was to do an eyelash extension that would last longer than 25 days, but what young Marcelle Santos got was some kind of conjunctivitis in reaction to the procedure. The report was made by herself on TikTok, with over 420,000 views on the first video.
Marcelle says she sought out a professional to apply the “Russian volume” technique and was already feeling uncomfortable during the treatment. Then, faced with her eye irritation, she contacted the operator who advised her to use eye drops and serum. She didn’t help.

Concerned, the young woman went to the emergency room the next day and was prescribed eye drops and antibiotic ointment. “The doctor said my conjunctiva was very injured,” she pointed out, adding that she has been doing eyelash extensions for a long time and has never experienced anything like this.
What are the risks associated with eyelash extensions?
Ophthalmologist Tiago César Pereira Ferreira says that aesthetic procedures in the eyelash region, such as extensions, dyes, facelifts, microblading and other procedures, usually use chemicals that pose risks to the health and integrity of the hair and eye same.
“That is, they can produce allergic reactions and symptoms such as irritation, burning, itchy eyes, redness, as well as favoring the onset of infections and even corneal lesions which, more seriously, can lead to loss of vision. “, highlights the physician, specialist in cataracts, contact lenses, keratoconus and refractive surgery, in an interview with Earth.
Therefore, ophthalmologists recommend attention to the choice of materials used and the qualified professional for the service. “Chemicals are used that can pose a health risk if applied incorrectly. As an example, we can mention the glue with which eyelash extension procedures are performed. In general, its composition includes a chemical compound called cyanoacrylate” , exemplifies. Ferreira, quoting the famous Super Bonder.
For the doctor who assisted Marcelle, it was the glue that caused the problem when it came into contact with the young girl’s conjunctiva. But there is no reason to condemn the procedure in general.
The ophthalmologist heard from the report points out that people interested in the extension should ensure that the professional hired is fit for the service and uses safe materials. Another tip is to have an ophthalmological evaluation before undergoing the procedure, in order to check for eye health conditions that may increase the risk of complications.
