Is It Normal To Have Eye Lashes Falling?
My question, I am 53 -recently I noticed that my eye lashes are falling ..one , two a day especially on the bottom lid-. I would like to know if this is normal-- if they grow back-- and why does it happen? FYI- I am post menopausal -and do not take any king hormones. Thank you, Cindy-

Hello
It seems from the history you are having loss of eye lashes.
The condition of loss of eye lashes is called as madarosis. The common causes for loss of eye lashes are blepharitis.
The fall of eye lashes is not normal and this requires evaluation by a eye doctor for evaluation and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
