Eyelash extensions may cause irritation and visual issues
A study has found that the application of eyelash extensions may increase the risk of Demodex mite accumulation around the eyelashes, leading to itching, redness, irritation, skin peeling, and blurred vision. The study revealed that 96% of women who undergo eyelash extension procedures have mites present, and about 48% experience issues such as blocked meibomian glands or decreased secretion of essential oils for the eye, especially after multiple extension procedures. It is believed that using extensions creates a conducive environment for mite proliferation due to the buildup of dead skin cells and adhesive, making mite presence difficult to detect and resulting in eye infections. Therefore, women are advised to keep their eyelids clean twice daily with a designated cleanser and brush, and to pay attention to warning signs to maintain eye health.
