Eyelash Extension Wear Potentiates Clinical Signs of Ocular Surface Diseases Among Young Women

Eyelash extension wear in young women is strongly associated with increased ocular surface symptoms and clinical signs of ocular surface disease. The findings support the need for improved consumer education, stricter product regulation, and routine ocular health screening to prevent avoidable complications among extension wearers.
