Do you think only pets have a spill season? Over and over you are wrong.
If you have noticed more lashes on your cheeks, pillow or bathroom sink lately, you are not alone. We are in the thorns of the “eyelash spill season”, which most commonly occurs in spring and autumn.
“Similarly to the way we pour more hair in spring and autumn, our eyelashes go through a similar cycle-unofficially known as ‘Lash-Sedding season’,” Dr. Allison V. Coombs, director of plastic surgery at Manhattan Eye, Ear & FY

While there is no difficult scientific data to explain why this happens, many eye doctors believe that changes in temperature, moisture and exposure to allergens and sun can contribute to the eyelashes.
This natural circulation tends to peak in spring and autumn, Coombs said, so don’t panic if your fall seems a little less rare during those months.
Coombs notes that pouring less than five drops daily is generally considered normal.
Anydo more than that can be a cause for concern, as your lovely drop does much more than just frame your eyes.
“While the lash is often appreciated for their cosmetic appeal” – greetings, Lash extensions! “They actually play a crucial role in protecting the eye,” Coombs said.
“Eyelashes act as a physical obstacle, helping to maintain particles, dust and debris from the eyes. They also serve a sensory function – when affected, the fall causes a reflexive stroke that helps protect the eye from possible damage.”
Without this essential obstacle, your eyes are much more vulnerable to irritation, dryness and what the nagging of something in the eyes, according to coombs.

However, not all loss of fall must be torn down to Mother Nature.
“We take the Lash loss seriously when it occurs in larger quantities or is associated with other symptoms,” she explained. “Sometimes it can tell about basic health issues that need treatment.”
It advises setting an eye exam if you notice:
- Drop -down clusters that fall immediately
- Bald spots along the fall line
- Loss of falling near a mole, growing or dark freak in the eyelid (which may be a warning sign of skin cancer)
- Brittle or worm lashes, which may indicate paint
After all is, “your lash is more than just beauty improvement – they are a first line of protection for your eyes,” Coombs said.
“If you are seeing significant changes, it’s always best to check with a specialist.”
