How To Grow Back Eye Lashes After They Fall Out?

In the last year my eyelashes have started coming out worse than they ever have and take forever to grow back and it looks as if some of them are not going to grow back. What causes this and what can I do about it? I will soon be 66 years old and want to know is that normal in aging? That s two questions. Sorry
