Ingrown eyelashes Frequent blinking in infants and children requires special attention from parents because it is often a sign of abnormal eyelash growth, also known as ingrown eyelashes. Careful parents will notice several eyelashes on the surface of the affected side of the eye. Children often experience a foreign body sensation, pain, photophobia, and tearing in the eye, and in severe cases, corneal damage, infection, ulcers, and even blindness, requiring early treatment. Ptosis: The most common cause of congenital ptosis is poor function of the muscles responsible for opening the eyes, and in young children, severe ptosis can affect vision. The upper eyelid that cannot be lifted makes the patient look drowsy all day, and in order to see more clearly, some patients tilt their heads to look at others, creating a poor demeanor; others use the frontalis muscle to assist in lifting their eyes, resulting in deep forehead lines at a young age. This is the first time I’ve ever seen an eyelid that has been damaged, and I’m sure it’s not a problem.
