After chemotherapy, when the hair starts growing back, has anyone had experience with irritation in the eyes as the eyelashes grow back? If so, any tips to deal with this?
Thank you
Hi Lalala123
My eyes felt generally irritated for a while after chemo and when eye lashes came back. I was already prescribed some eye drops that helped. I continued to use these for a while. I used some olive oil eye lash serum as well. For me it was a temporary irritation and soon went. I would suggest speaking to your CNS and seeing if any eye drops would be suitable for you. Mine were prescribed but there are ones you can buy direct from pharmacist.
