The Truth About Lash Extensions | Eye Doctor Explains 

Just watched a video of Dr. Dray, a dermatologist, discussing the safety of eyelash extensions. So interesting hearing different perspectives from different specialties on this topic!

OMG! I thought my son was the only one dropping in on my videos. Your daughter is beyond adorable, but your face...that mom annoyance face we all get when we have had it with their antics is PRICELESS!!! I love it lol

Thank you for this video and all of the information. I have to say, just about when I was about to give up on the video, your daughter went from borderline "annoying" to winning me over, "I'm six years oooollld, yeah!" That was adorable! You look like a really good mom.

Great video. Very informative. I sent this video to my friend, who's a lash artist as well!

I'd love another video on cleaning extensions and keeping them healthy! I had them last year and got a terrible infection (I loved them so much :( ) and all the optometrist would give me was to get them taken off. Of course the infection lasted even after and it was terrible! So I'd love a better view of how to clean them :) This video was great!

Hi Dr. Rupa, I love your videos! As someone who’s had lash extensions off an on for about a year, I was wondering if you could comment on whether the redness from the fumes a day or two after the appt. cause long term damage? Ive read some scary things online about it being “chemical burns on your eyes”. 100% fully agree like you said if you get irritation to speak up to your lash artist as this has helped me personally in the past. They don’t know you’re eyes are burning if you don’t tell them :). Thanks!

omg ur daughter is too precious also ur blessed with large eyes; lashes or not, they stand out🌸

Thank you for the very informative video! And Arya was cute and hilarious. I love how you keep it real :)

I have love your lash extension video, you magnetic lashes video, and you lashify video, of the three different types of enhancements which do you find contributes to the least lash loss?

This was the most relatable video I've ever watched. 😄

Excellent information!

Is there any way your lash artist can share what kind/brand of glue she uses on sensitive clients?

Glad I watched this I have been back and forth with getting lash extensions! Thanks for all the advice and tips!

HELP PLEASE! I wore individual false lashes myself. I put 5-6 on my right eye and 3-4 on my left. The lashes were unsealed in my drawer for few year. I bought a new glue from target. I put them on and second day of wear my eyelids itched so bad. Third day in the morning I woke up my right eyelid swelled. I removed them. From then my eye started to act up. My eyes inner corner bottom lid would swell strangely and puffy, gave my skin a thick wrinkled effect. Then it would go away. Then my right eye, the skin from my brow to underneath my eye all got red then scaled. From then on my eye keep swelling every 1-2 week. Dairy like ice cream or sugar would just make it swell too. Or if oils from my skin went into my eye it would swell. This has never happened to me in past, ever since the lashes. I though I got an eye infection/pink eye from lashes that will go away on its own but it didn't. After 2 months, I went to a eye doctor he said use ocusoft wipes it will go back to normal. my eyes didn't react well and I went to him again. He gave me another wipes that had tea tree oil and coconut oil. My eyes had better reaction to it. However, my eye still did end up swelling. Went back to him and he told me to use the ocusoft again. At this point, while I was using this wipe I felt sharp pain in my inner rim. It burned and stinged and I thought I cut my inner rim. Days later, my lashline felt heavy and painful, irritated, inflamed. I had unbearable pain. My whole eye felt sore. It burned and stinged. It hurt to touch my brow bone. The area where I put the lashes had a bump, and it was painful and numb to the touch. Even my lashes hurt to touch. My eyelid crease hurt, hurt to blink, swollen, puffy, felt heavy. Felt like waking up to pink eye everyday. I went to another doctor he said i had allergic reaction to glue and said i have allergic conjunctivitis. Gave me steriod drop and after 2 weeks. Brought down the inflammation by 50%. I was still in pain and he said everybody reacts different and I need to give it time to heal. He said can take 3mo to 1 year. I couldn't take the pain as I have to go to work. Went to another doctor he said I have low grade infection. He prescibed oral antibiotics for 2 weeks and antibiotic eyedrops for 2 weeks. My eye felt more softer, the bump got less painful, and i was able to touch my lash and brow again and my middle eye crease pain/swelling went down. However not 100%, still have discomfort. So, he put me on the oral antibiotics for another 2 weeks. I'm currently taking. Major improvement, However, there is still inflammation in my eye that's causing the discomfort. I want this inflammation gone 100%. Does this sound like a stubborn eye infection ? Last night I was feeling down about the whole situation, cried my eyes out, and my other eye(good eye) swelled up bad. And it went back down in 24 hours, but it dosen't have inflammation. I thought maybe this is all caused by stress ? Maybe I have posterior blephoritis ? Is it possible out no where to have it ? I had doctors check my glands, they say its open. I tried to secrete it and the oils came normal clear very thin. Is it an alleric reaction just getting better with time ? Was it bacteria that antibiotics got rid of and now the infammation is going down but taking its time because I waited long time to get correct treatment? I'm so confused and need help! Will this inflammation go away ? I'm researching and looks like blepharitis inflammation is chronic ? My doctor said if 1 in 5 docs check my eye they will say I have blephortits because of my symptoms, but looking at my eye its hard to tell. I need help!

Omg I love this video with your munchkin lol I'm dying but enjoying the info! Much love from Colorado

I love the "we love eyes" brand, but haven't tried using it with a brush like that.

Lmao my kids are like that too. The mom life. The mom face 😂. This is why I don't RU-vid cause they just won't let me record period. They hog the camera. Your content is amazing and your lifestyle is so relatable. Haha. Keep it up.

This was extremely informative!! Now i am tempted to get them done too. The extensions suit you sooo much! And omg Aryaaa!!😍😍 total sweetheart!

My lid swell up so bad and gets so itchy so what glue do you recommend or just completely don’t even do lash extensions

Is it safe to get eyelash extensions during pregnancy?

Where is your necklace from?

Arya is my absolute favorite! Glad we can be besties :)

You got serious competition......she is such a cutie!

And also my eyes are so so dry it always feel like there is a film in my eye

Thanks for making this video, it was very informative! I really want to try lash extensions but I'm concerned because I have had blepharitis for a few months now, and taking eye drops to manage it. Do you think I can still get the extensions, or wait more until it clears up?

Lol. .. Arya!!!! Stole the show!!

We in Nee Uork are obsession with eyelash. Extensions but with Covid

what was the adhesive brand the lash artist used on your extensions? :)

little angel is a queen !! just like her momma! ..but little queen is the boss lollll

How do you put your contacts on with the extensions?

I... Paid out the ass for lash extensions BUT my natural lashes slowly fell out, They called it "shedding" and they said it was normal, but, it is NOT normal, at least, my normal... I no longer use them and after several months, my lashes are finally back to normal. (the fakes were pretty but not worth it.)

Madam pls do suggest best kajal n eye liner which Is safe for eyes pls madam

what would you suggest for a non fibrous cotton pad?

So in general are they safe? I'm afraid of everything about my eyes

Is it true that our hair follicles have a certain amount of growth cycles? I've heard that using serums like latisse constantly will make your lashes sparser in the long run and we should only use them once in a while.. Ure daughter is too adorable btw!!

I genuinely laughed out loud at your daughter telling you to "do it again"

Wow, kids are in charge.

Ur baby is soo cute

Will the extensions cause permanent lash loss over time?

If I get very mild allergic reactions every time I get them done can that be harmful to my eyes ?

I’m pretty sure I’m allergic to the acrylate in all last glues :( I really want lashes again. Would going to see an allergist help?

If you get them wet? You can’t get them wet? How would you not do this? On a different thing, I thing your daughter is going to be a director when she grows up!

Kid was so intrusive. What about change in blinking, what about long term eye exposure to formaldehyde.

My boyfriend is from Honolulu and he looks like he could be your brother! Lost twins!!!😂

what a kid! she's made for the camera

in the UK we call eye doctors opticians. i just realised they're the same thing just different names!

The video is very informative. As a fellow physician I appreciate your unique approach, however the interruptions are excessive to the point where I became annoyed - your daughter is darling, but I'm watching to get information on eyelash extensions. Wishing you much success.

The information is helpful and that's the reason I watch. I was distracted by the interruption by your daughter. Maybe a separate lifestyle family channel would be appropriate 😉

Seriously - very nice video until about minute 9. The kid is adorable and a delightful addition to the post FOR ABOUT ONE MINUTE. After that, she should be edited out. Annoying.

are you full indian?

Helpful info, but I do find the constant interruptions from the little one very distracting and it makes me want to just stop watching. I didn’t make it through this one. It’s ok to teach your child not to interrupt. She’s cute but it’s too much.

Please do your tutorials without your daughter interrupting all the time, cute as she is, it's irritating when you are trying to take in information

The interruptions were excessive. Once is cute, more than that is disrespectful to your viewers. I love kids--but mine know better than to interrupt adults.

The interruptions were really distracting.

Your daughter is distracting :(
