Another reason to try Younique 3D Fiber Lashes!!! Some optometrists have advised against the indiscriminate use of artificial eye lashes to avoid damage to the cornea. The optometrists, in separate interviews , advised women to patronize experts if they must wear the lashes. A Consultant Optometrist, Eniola Ajayi, said: If one must wear eye lashes, you have to follow the laid down procedures as approved by professional anesthesiologists. Ms. Ajayi said that the laceration of the cornea could cause a scar and in turn impair vision. The issues lie with the technical fixing of the lashes, which can affect the front cover of the eye, the cornea. It is a transparent tissue and if anything causes it to lacerate, that is, cut or bruise, and it fails to heal well, it will cause a scar which will affect vision in terms of clarity. If in the process of fixing the lashes, proper hygienic measures are not taking, one can develops infection. The physical attributes of the lash, if not properly fixed, that is, if it is not correctly turned up, it can begin to abrade the eye causing an erosion of the cornea over time, Ms. Ajayi said. Another consultant optometrist, Susu Enang, expressed concern over the use of super glue to stick the lashes. Although, I dont have the authority to say people should not use these artificial lashes, I advocate sticking it with the natural ones. People come to my clinic with complains associated with injuries sustained from the use of artificial lashes. I have a patient who her cornea suffered burns when super glue accidentally got into her eye. When these artificial lashes are fixed by a non professional, it can turn inward and abrade the cornea. Also, when glue is applied on the eye lid margin, it blocks the sebaceous glands that secrete oil to moisturize the eye. It consequently denies the eye of the antibiotic properties it provides, resulting in infection of the eyelid and the sebaceous glands itself. Interestingly, artificial lashes create room for infections because people who wear these lashes do not wash their eyes well, and also when the lashes fall out, dust and bacteria will accumulate around the eyes, Enang said
