    GlossaryEyelashes

    short, curved hairs growing at eyelid edges for eye protection

    Eyelashes are the short, curved hairs that grow at the edge of the eyelids. They serve a protective function by preventing dust, debris, and small particles from entering the eye, and they also trigger a reflexive blink response when touched, further safeguarding the eye. For professionals, it's noteworthy that eyelashes have a growth cycle similar to scalp hair, consisting of anagen (growth), catagen (transitional), and telogen (resting) phases, which can be relevant in diagnosing and treating conditions like madarosis (loss of eyelashes) or trichotillomania (compulsive pulling of eyelashes).
