Hello , thank you for reaching out! I hear how disconcerting the idea of eyelash mites feels for you! Eyelash mites are something quite a few in the community have navigated with chronic dry eye. Carefully and regularly cleaning the eyelashes often becomes an important aspect of treatment. We have several articles and forum discussions that mention demodex/eyelash mites that you might find of interest. 1) https://chronicdryeye.net/clinical/demodex-mites 2) https://chronicdryeye.net/living/demodex-blepharitis 3) https://chronicdryeye.net/home-remedies 4) https://chronicdryeye.net/forums/eye-lash-mites 5) https://chronicdryeye.net/clinical/blepharitis 6) https://chronicdryeye.net/living/changing-cleaning-routine I hope some of this is helpful for you! How are you feeling today? Please keep us posted on how you are managing. Wishing you a gentle day. ~Allyson (team member)
