Worried about recent reports of eyelash lice? Here’s what doctors are saying.
Adrianna RodriguezIf you use eyelash extensions and suffer from eye irritation, a buildup of microscopic organisms may be eating your skin.
Washing is an important — often neglected — part of hygiene for people who wear false eyelashes. But the reports of a rise of eyelash lice are incorrect, doctors say.Dr. Gregory J. Nixon, Associate Dean for Clinical Services at the Ohio State University College of Optometry, say people are confusing the medical term demodex for lice, when they’re actually mites.
Mites, on the other hand, are microscopic organisms that that live on all mammals, See said. They don't suck blood, but instead eat dead skin cells. See says that if lice were somehow transferred to the eyelashes, one would be able to see them. Lice cause irritation and require immediate treatment. He says the best prevention method is to establish a daily routine of washing around the eyes with warm, soapy water. This helps break up the oils that fuel the mites.
See says that irritation from false lashes or eyelash extensions is also commonly a result from the adhesive and usually goes away after the lashes are removed.How can I treat a buildup of mites?
