Suggest Remedy For Ingrown Eyelash

Hi yes you may. My 91 yr old father s bottom eyelashes have into his eyes. He has. Already had eye surgery to repair it but the 1 eye has flipped back over. He is a hospice patient and pretty immobile but would like to enjoy seeing since that is about all he has left. Is there anything we as a family can do to relieve his aggravation?

Hello,

Ingrown eyelashes irritate the cornea and may cause ulcer over cornea. The treatment is epilation or removal of the ingrown eyelash. Please do consult an ophthalmologist for the above procedure.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
