Abnormal Eyelashes

Reasons for Abnormal Eyelashes

Treatment for Abnormal Eyelashes

Some eyelash problems may correct themselves; you may also be able to easily remove a wayward eyelash. However, more serious conditions that are affecting your vision or causing discomfort may require electrolysis treatment or eyelid surgery. The only way to know what treatment will be right for you is to schedule an eye exam with our eyelash doctors.
