What is a potential health condition that can cause eyelash loss?
I have an eyelash-thinning problem. If, anyone is diagnosed with this, then what are the conditions that are responsible for eyelash loss? Please share your thoughts!!
Hi
, thank you for reaching out! I hear how frustrating the eyelash loss/thinning feels for you. While I cannot speak from personal experience, I did find an article from the American Academy of Ophthalmology that explains some of the possible causes for eyelash loss. https://www.aao.org/eye-health/tips-prevention/why-are-my-eyelashes-falling-out
One cause that the article mentions is blepharitis, which we have an article about: https://chronicdryeye.net/clinical/blepharitis
Additionally, eye makeup is mentioned as a possible cause. We also have a couple of articles about makeup and dry eye.

The best way to diagnose what is happening in your unique body is to work with your medical team. I hope if others in the community have experience with eyelash loss they will stop by and share with you!
How are you feeling today? Please keep us posted on what you learn and how you are managing. Wishing you a gentle day. ~Allyson (ChronicDryEye.net team)
, Thanks for sharing the information. I have created this forum to gather information about potential health conditions that can cause eyelash loss and how everyone feels in that situation. According to my doctor from Ongo Care, hormonal changes are responsible for this eyelash thinning. I am feeling good now, I hope I will get better soon.
