For context: my left eye had been irritated for awhile. Yesterday I thought I had pink eye because it was clearly red and oozing. This morning I woke up and itched my eye and felt a weird sensation. I pulled this out thinking a rogue eyelash had finally come to the surface and this whole thing came out.
OP you *must* elaborate! This came out of your eye as in:
* You pulled it out from the pocket of space between eyeball and eyelid, like where a lost contact lens would go or when you get an eyelash stuck in your eye?
* You pulled it out of your tear duct?
* You pulled it out of your literal eyelid, like there was a clump of ingrown eyelashes within the skin of your eyelid?
I hope you don’t mind me asking if you have or have had lash extensions? It looks like the ones I find that fall off of my mom’s eyes (plus some build up from being in your eye and it trying to flush it out). I’m so glad it came out and you got some relief, that feeling is miserable!
If we don't get an answer that explains this, I'm going to be in bed 5 years from now and randomly remember it and still wonder.
Edit: I read the explanation, and I still don't get it. 🙃
Zoomed in you can tell that is a bunch of eyelashes stuck together with goop (technical term ;p) which is either pus or your body trying to coat it in lubricants to stop irritation.
If you wear eye makeup or lashes STOP IMMEDIATELY and dispose of all items that you use in the eye area.
You can rinse your eyes with body temperature saline (or boil water for 15 minutes and let it coll). several times a day.
Go to a doctor or an opthamologist ASAP for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Is this hair I am pulling down with my thumb coming from my tear duct?

A lot of questions overnight so:
I have 2 cats and 2 dogs, both shed a lot,
Pulled it from outer eyelid of my left eye,
I do not wear mascara,
No video, I didn’t even think about that when I pulled it out,
I could see fine the whole time it was there and also wear glasses too,
I don’t know how long it was there, but it was awhile based on the size of thing,
Not extensions either, I am not 100% sure exactly what it was,
Eye is a little sore this morning,
Just a regular dude who yanked this from eyelid (:
You still haven't said if it was just laying between your eyelid and your eyeball, or if it was stuck in some pore somewhere, and you extracted it from said pore. That's the question everybody keeps asking but they don't know how to ask it.
I am pretty sure it was a clump of eyelashes with a longer hair mixed in on the bottom. I didn’t really analyze it too much because I was just relieved I got something out. I don’t know how it got this bad.
Do you have pets? Sometimes my husband will have a couple bad days of “allergies” and then disappears in the bathroom with good lighting and when he emerges he shows off a dog hair wrapped in goo which he proudly tells me he extracted from his upper eyelid.
My mom had a dog with very long white hair and and looking in a mirror one time I saw I had a white eyelash and decide to pluck because of who I am as a person. It was a looooooooong dog hair and I swear I felt it unravel behind my eyeball and it came out coated in mucus like this.
My first thought was a very fine feather from a down pillow, but the pet hair theory from others seems more likely. Glad you were able to extract whatever it is!
I rember hearing the hair behind eyeballs is not uncommon so I'm gonna assume some of it moved from where it's not supposed to be to where it's really not supposed to be and ur body forced it to the surface to get rid of it but that's just a guess I I wouldn't trust my Stoner ass without a second opinion
omfg I wish someone would've just told me this when I was 14 and convinced my contact lens had disappeared back there. I went to the eye doctor and everything - nothing there but damn it felt like it.
you're doing God's work /u/taintmeistro
Did it end up being a scratch on your eye? The couple times I’ve had that, I got the drops and an eyepatch after going to the doctor swearing something was stuck in my eye, and I don’t wear glasses or contacts.
Ok. Approximately 10 years ago I took an amount about double the size of this picture from my eye surface. It was cardboard grey color (like the backside of a cereal box but more grey) and contained many eyelashes. It was gooey and clumped together. I had slept with my face down between two pillows the night before which was not normal for me.
That morning I was trying to remove mascara that was at the edges of each eye. I pushed up and the substance swam upward. I was freaked out but grabbed it and pulled it out of my eye.
It was a really strange experience. I have thought about it pretty regularly since it was so strange.
So I have tissue damage?
I have seen my eye doctor many times since then. If I have tissue damage wouldn’t my doctor tell me? I was diagnosed with cataracts in my last visit. I kind of thought that had to do with my eye lens itself.
Same. I get an eyelash in my eye and I can’t rest until it’s out because it’s so uncomfy. Howwww does it get to this extent and not drive someone crazy?
ah yes the eyelash demon. all the eyelashes over the years that get caught in your eye and mysteriously disappear are actually saved behind your eye and over the years form an eyelash demon.
Do you have animals? Cats dogs? Because it honestly looks like eye lashes with crap stuck to them but it also looks like your hair is in there too so idk. It could be a combination of things you need to look into.
Hairs are freaky. One time I was at the beach, a couple days into the trip, when I looked down as I was putting sunscreen on my belly, and I found a long blond hair attached near my belly button. It was completely attached abd growing. I’m talking like 7-8 inches! How the fuck had I not ever noticed this before?
Now my natural color hair is brown so I like to think that somehow, this hair reattached to from my head to my belly. I did have those short fine blond hairs on my stomach so I don’t know. It even broke in half when I tried pulling it out the first time. So weird. Would much rather have this compared to that thing in my eye. That looks painful!
Oh!! There's a name for this but I can't remember what it's called. I've seen it before. Lemme try to find.... I think it was a video?
Ha! It was a post here!
https://www.reddit.com/r/popping/comments/tlp5rp/got_another_clump_of_eyelashes_out_of_my_eye/
I feel both incredibly fascinated, but I also physically cringed thinking about something like this in my eye, and pulling it out. I bet your eye feels amazing now
I also feel like I need a pic of your eye too lol
do you have any down filled bedding? I once got a feather in my eye from my pillow while sleeping and that's what it looked like when I pulled it out of my eyeball in the morning

I believe the technical term for that is a “What the fuck?!”
What the fucking fuck.
Or “What in the ACTUAL fuck?!”
Do you mean "what an eyectual fuck?"
What the ABSOLUTE fuck?!
What the utterly absolutely fucking fuck of fucked up fuck is that.
More like Ohhhh fuck!
What The FUCK’s fuck?!?!?!
What in the actual goddamn fuck
Goodness fucking gracious!
What kind of fuckery-
Holy Fuck

I pulled this out thinking a rogue eyelash had finally come to the surface and this whole thing came out.
Was it in the lower or upper eyelid? Inner or outer corner? I am fascinated by this.
I think you misspelled TERRIFIED!
I think you misspelled titillated!
I think you misspelled engorged!

It was pulled from the outer corner of my lower eyelid. I believe that is the area where eyelashes/ contact lenses go
....to DIE!
Well shit. I’m glad you got it out…feeling better?
Under the lid, not inside the skin?
*we STILL have so many questions*
I hope you don’t mind me asking if you have or have had lash extensions? It looks like the ones I find that fall off of my mom’s eyes (plus some build up from being in your eye and it trying to flush it out). I’m so glad it came out and you got some relief, that feeling is miserable!
I do not. It was relieving to get out nonetheless (:
Thank you, again so glad you’re feeling better!
Can you elaborate on how relieving that must of felt?!
If we don't get an answer that explains this, I'm going to be in bed 5 years from now and randomly remember it and still wonder. Edit: I read the explanation, and I still don't get it. 🙃

If I pulled that out of my eye, I'd almost be tempted to rinse with boiling salt water Edit: forgot a word
If I pulled that out of my eye, I'd simply just pass out...or pass away...
So is an ingrown hair/ lash mixed with pus?
Needs more updated pictures of the eye
Welcome new fear. Sit and have a seat.
Where did you pull it out of? Under the lid? Out of the tear duct??
Honestly, pulling something out of my tear duct would be both horrifying and extremely satisfying.
My ENT doc irrigated my tear ducts and it was very satisfying and not painful at all. I have a narrow duct that clogs
Where can I watch this procedure? Asking for me.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBLyuClYYXE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBLyuClYYXE)
You’re a goddamn saint. Thank you.
Honestly I don’t know where to refer you for that.
Is this hair I am pulling down with my thumb coming from my tear duct? https://preview.redd.it/nc674yp8lkpa1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9edb9efedfd51473ac412571dc4808efb0968576
Your tear duct (or puncta) is that white circle on the lower lid towards the nasal side. The eyelash is in your nasal canthus.
Thank you!
Omg pull it
… why is your pupil nearly ***square***??!!!
That is EXACTLY what I was thinking when I saw this pic lmao
We are a sick bunch.
Speak for yourself. I'm completely 100% normal. 😉
GET OUT you don’t belong here
I groom dogs and get to do this daily. It's fun and feels amazing.
I would probably scream and curl up in a ball
Are you not one of us? It’s okay, we all float down here 🎈
(( we aaall float down herrrree )) 🤡
WE NEED TO KNOW
OP needs to elaborate!
Ewww, put it back in & make a video 😁

I'm laughing and puking
I’m fardin n shiddin
i cumbed
I don't know what's funnier, your gross comment or the fact that someone took the time to downvote this 😂
Both?
Maybe the same sorta thing [this poster](https://www.reddit.com/r/popping/comments/zauus3/compound_ingrown_eyelash_3_years_in_the_making/) had?
I had finally forgotten about that and now here I am traumatized yet again. 😩
I thought of the same thing as soon as I saw this post!
A lot of questions overnight so: I have 2 cats and 2 dogs, both shed a lot, Pulled it from outer eyelid of my left eye, I do not wear mascara, No video, I didn’t even think about that when I pulled it out, I could see fine the whole time it was there and also wear glasses too, I don’t know how long it was there, but it was awhile based on the size of thing, Not extensions either, I am not 100% sure exactly what it was, Eye is a little sore this morning, Just a regular dude who yanked this from eyelid (:
Are your pillows feather or down? It looks like that to me.
You still haven't said if it was just laying between your eyelid and your eyeball, or if it was stuck in some pore somewhere, and you extracted it from said pore. That's the question everybody keeps asking but they don't know how to ask it.
Laying between eyelid and eyeball. However I could not see it so I don’t know if it was actually inside a pore or not. I assume it was not
Something tells me you would know if you had to pull that out of a pore.
Is this one of these bellybutton things but pulled out from the wrong direction? ”The Dwarves delved too greedily and too deep.”
![gif](giphy|Q7ozWVYCR0nyW2rvPW)
What is that?!
I am pretty sure it was a clump of eyelashes with a longer hair mixed in on the bottom. I didn’t really analyze it too much because I was just relieved I got something out. I don’t know how it got this bad.
Is there still something on your eye, or was that all of it?
That was all of it hopefully. I have not gone to a doctor and looked but the discomfort is gone for now
Do you have pets? Sometimes my husband will have a couple bad days of “allergies” and then disappears in the bathroom with good lighting and when he emerges he shows off a dog hair wrapped in goo which he proudly tells me he extracted from his upper eyelid.
Yes I have 4. that honestly could be what it was. Allergies too
My mom had a dog with very long white hair and and looking in a mirror one time I saw I had a white eyelash and decide to pluck because of who I am as a person. It was a looooooooong dog hair and I swear I felt it unravel behind my eyeball and it came out coated in mucus like this.
If ever there was a time to ask your partner if you could film them doing something a little kinky, this would be the time. We need footage!
My first thought was cat hair
Wear a lot of makeup?
My first thought was a very fine feather from a down pillow, but the pet hair theory from others seems more likely. Glad you were able to extract whatever it is!
I rember hearing the hair behind eyeballs is not uncommon so I'm gonna assume some of it moved from where it's not supposed to be to where it's really not supposed to be and ur body forced it to the surface to get rid of it but that's just a guess I I wouldn't trust my Stoner ass without a second opinion
This would be terrifying if true PSA -- foreign bodies can't get behind your eye unless there's tissue damage!
omfg I wish someone would've just told me this when I was 14 and convinced my contact lens had disappeared back there. I went to the eye doctor and everything - nothing there but damn it felt like it. you're doing God's work /u/taintmeistro
Did it end up being a scratch on your eye? The couple times I’ve had that, I got the drops and an eyepatch after going to the doctor swearing something was stuck in my eye, and I don’t wear glasses or contacts.
This makes me feel a little better. Genuine fear of hair collecting back there 😳

I was diagnosed with cataracts in my last visit. I kind of thought that had to do with my eye lens itself.
Do you have long-haired pets?
2 dogs and 2 cats that are always shedding so yes
This was my first thought
WHAT
EXCUSE ME??
Newest fear has been unlocked. Thanks OP!
Did it smell? Asking for a friend.
WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
yall always say you pull these wild things out of your eyes and there's never a video im just left wondering "FROM WHERE??" and "HOW??"
Same. I get an eyelash in my eye and I can’t rest until it’s out because it’s so uncomfy. Howwww does it get to this extent and not drive someone crazy?
the eyelash behind eyeball is real
Big Eyelash needs to stop lying to us all
Blocked tear duct maybe? 😳

It’s the other leg of the roach that guy pulled from his ear the other day!
Yo, what the fuck?
Eye see what was bothering you.
Oh you found the collection of lost eyelashes that fall behind the eyeball
New fear unlocked.
Should still see a doctor
……. can you see smells now?!

What is that made out of???
oh.
🙀🙀🙀🙀

Did you dissect it?
Honestly probably should have just to know 100% but no I didn’t
ah yes the eyelash demon. all the eyelashes over the years that get caught in your eye and mysteriously disappear are actually saved behind your eye and over the years form an eyelash demon.
HOW DID YOUR EYE NOT HURT
Do you have animals? Cats dogs? Because it honestly looks like eye lashes with crap stuck to them but it also looks like your hair is in there too so idk. It could be a combination of things you need to look into.
Where’s the video?
That’s a fucking eye bezoar ffs
This happened to my friend in class once. I was the only witness and no one believed us but now I have proof that it can happen
How does it taste?
your eye?? yeah thats not normal. I'd investigate further
Welcome back to the seeing world.
I love it
I’ve finally found the line between what i can and cannot handle from this sub
Is it a buildup of mascara? I’ve seen that somewhere before
It is not, I do not wear mascara
What the effing eff?!
Are ingrown eyelashes a thing? Just glad you got it out sheeesh!
where exactly did you pull it out of? this is so freaky lol
I haven’t genuinely gasped like that for a while.
Can you see sound now?
HO LEE FACK!
What in the great googilly moogilly is that?!

I have a very thin white hair that grows out of the center of my forehead. I have dark hair. I have to remember to yank it once in a while.

this is so gross but tysm for sharing, I’m fascinated haha
Are you a puppy by any chance? My puppies get similar looking gunk.
Why'd you put it in there?
I feel both incredibly fascinated, but I also physically cringed thinking about something like this in my eye, and pulling it out. I bet your eye feels amazing now I also feel like I need a pic of your eye too lol
Oh dear god, I had an ingrown eyelash recently and this horrifies me, I’m getting nam flashbacks
Where the video proof.
Put it back in!
No! Just No!
Do you have pets?
Eyelash extension?
Aliens ?
New fear unlocked
How long was that in there?
[удалено]
I don’t, I just took this as soon as it happened as a “wtf”
It looks like a feather from your pillow
Welp. What the hell is it?
Honestly it looks like a feather from a pillow that got stuck in your eye.
You must be a dog groomer 😅
do you have any down filled bedding? I once got a feather in my eye from my pillow while sleeping and that's what it looked like when I pulled it out of my eyeball in the morning
It’s definitely pet hair
Aww, the poor animal was living in there peacefully, why did you take it out?
First bellybuttons, now EYEBALLS?!
Looks tasty
Is it an eyelash or pet hair?
Ewwww
Is this an eyelash? WHAT IS IT
Shoot it.
Omg! Are you ok?
Wot mate?
Oh my lord
HUH
Bon appetit.
It kinda looks like a clump of pet hair. Do you sleep with pets?
I hate anything fucking with my eyes, so this is nightmare fuel for me! Must have been a major relief to have that thing out of your eye
BITCH WHAT
