Re: eyelashes

[Guest guest]

Hi Bernice,

I'm not sure why Nina has green slimy stuff, but what a says makes

sense, it probably is infection. Since the lower lids on kids that have

Bleph tend to pull away from the eyeball there is a lot more chance of it

being exposed to more. Aurora's lower lids always look red I figure its

because it dries out more because it is exposed. She has never had green

slimy stuff though except recently when she had conjunctivitis (pink-eye) but

that is a normal symptom..

Hope you can get some answers from the dr. on Monday.

Take Care, let us know how it goes.

Sincerely,

Bernice,

I am a 32 year old woman with bpes. I have the same problem with

eyelashes. The only thing I can do is pluck them out with tweezers.

Thank god it is only the inner part of the eye. I know how irritating

this can be, it can actually start scratching the cornea of the eye.

I ask my eye doctor and he said there is no such thing as laser hair

removal in this area of the body yet. when it becomes available I

will be the first in line.I have learned to do this myself but Maybe

your eye doctor can do it for her. It only has to be done a couple

times a year and it makes all the difference in the world.

Hope this helps, Michele
