What? This happens to people? Anytime I get an eyelash on my eye, it stays there being obnoxious until I remove it.

don’t worry, eyelashes are biodegradable so the old ones have probably already decayed and got reabsorbed into your body :)

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.

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

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. ![](https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/fd988791-b8b0-4ff9-b15d-2188866f6669.jpeg) 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. When the eyelash randomly disappears, I assume your eyelids managed to sweep it into the middle and pick it up when they opened again. If you gently brush your eyelashes, the loose one might fall out. Unfortunately mine are a real pain to get out so they don't just disappear :')

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.
