If anyone is actually worried about this
The conjunctiva is a thin membrane that covers the inside of the eyelids and the white part of the eye (sclera), making a continuous sealed area that nothing can escape from except the front.
Also the area behind/around the eye is cushioned by fat and muscle so there’s no room for it. Your eyes don’t bounce around for a reason
Hopping on this helpful and informative post to add my own tidbit: If you find you get loose eyelashes in your eyes a lot, or that they seem to curl inward and poke your eye a lot, see your optometrist about the possibility of blepharitis–a chronic inflammation of the eyelids. It’s a lifelong condition, no cure, but there is a pretty simple daily treatment and hopping on it will drastically improve your quality of life. I used to think it was normal to constantly want to rub your eyes because they itched–surprise! It’s not.
They caught this bug in the beta release
I pluck them off. Got more of them loose, if i’m tired.
don’t worry, eyelashes are biodegradable so the old ones have probably already decayed and got reabsorbed into your body :)
Yeah, the eyelashes get absorbed into the eyeball; it’s basic eyeballogy.
Tear is stored in the (eye)ball
This guy knows ball
thats why I eat mines, no energy wasted
Or just turned into eye boogers
There are some contact lenses too.
TIHI. Didn’t expect that.
What a horrible day to have eyes.
What? This happens to people?
Anytime I get an eyelash on my eye, it stays there being obnoxious until I remove it.
I like how it has text saying “don’t sleep in your contacts” as if that’s the real issue, rather than this lady being an idiot. Like she slept in them and woke up the next day thinking “Oh well, guess it just dissolved in my eyeball, time to put more contacts in!”
I’d like to go on the record as saying :::spoiler spoiler AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAÄAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA :::
I heard that story and this came into my mind immediately.
Wow, that was utterly vile, thank you for explaining to the world why I wear glasses when I need to see shit. God damn, Funkhauser school of funnily disgusting!
The green makes it look worse, it’s just a dye to make it easier to identify the lenses.
:C
Oh my, the scraps of innocence I had is now gone. Thanks.
I like it when that happens because the hairs scratch itches way back there.
That reminds me, I need to get my eyeballs sliced to drain some floaters.
Nah, this is impossible
I have this fear that every time I eat instant ramen a little bit gets stuck and one day they’ll have to cut me open to pull it all out like hair in the drain.
Thanks for that nightmare! My day was too nice anyway…

As a doctor, I can assure you that there is never any buildup of eyelashes behind your eyeball. The spiders eat them all.

The funniest part - this is unironically true. Yes, really.
