Purpose: To bring awareness on how the false eyelash beauty trend can impact routine glaucoma evaluations.
Observation: False eyelashes have the ability to induce pseudoptosis and visual disturbance complaints from patients. This translates to the patient care setting by inhibiting proper administration of Humphrey Visual Field analysis and portraying gross overestimations on patients' glaucoma progression.
Conclusions: Patients should be asked to remove false eyelashes prior to administering Humphrey Visual Field analysis or have their eyelids taped up to prevent obstruction of view during examination.
Importance: Making medical management decisions based on a Humphrey Visual Field analysis completed on a patient wearing false eyelashes could lead to overly aggressive treatment on an otherwise healthy patient.

Do Prostaglandin Analogue Lash Lengtheners Cause Eyelid Fat and Volume Loss?
Aesthet Surg J
October 2022
oculoplastic surgeons, Corneoplastic Unit, Queen Victoria Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, East Grinstead, UK.
Background: Prostaglandin analogues (PGAs; a first-line antiglaucoma treatment) have been remarketed as popular eyelash-lengthening serums due to their lash-lengthening and lash-thickening side effects. Periorbital volume loss is now a well-established side effect of topical PGAs used to treat glaucoma (prostaglandin-associated periorbitopathy) but has not, to date, been listed as a potential side effect of lash-lengthening serums containing PGAs.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify whether periorbital fat/volume loss is seen in users of PGA lash lengtheners.
Exposure to Nail and False Eyelash Glue: A Case Series Study.

The use of artificial nail tips in professional manicure services and the application of false eyelashes are a growing trend among young women. Often, this "beauty routine" is performed at home without the supervision of an expert beautician, raising health problems due to either the spillage of these products or to accidental exposure to children. The aim of this study is to review the Pavia Poison Control Centre clinical records to identify the frequency, the most common route of exposure, and the possible risks associated to these events to support the decision-making process in emergency departments.

Chemical Engineering Department, Manhattan College, 4513 Manhattan College Pkwy, Bronx, NY, 10471, USA.
Objective: In this study, methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(D,L-lactide), or mPEG-PLA, was used as the smart thermoresponsive polymer in our mascara formulation. The utility of mPEG-PLA in a mascara formulation was investigated by a stepwise build-up in an oil in water (O/W) emulsion. The experimental results may pave the way to a strategy of developing more cosmetic formulation with thermoresponsive shape memory polymers (SMPs).

Background And Objective: To describe the presence of eyelashes artifact in ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) images.
Patients And Methods: In this prospective, cross-sectional study, 52 healthy, young subjects were imaged with the SS-OCTA system. OCTA scans were taken in primary and extremes of gaze, and a montage was automatically created.
