If the baby’s eyelashes are attached to the eyeball, this is a sign of impingement, and you should go to the hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible. However, if the number of ingrown eyelashes is very large, all the eyelashes are in an inverted state, and there is damage to the cornea, such as a defect in the corneal epithelium or corneal neovascularization, then early treatment is needed. For a few lashes, the lashes can be removed to improve the symptoms, but for a large number of lashes, it is usually necessary to perform an eyelid entropion and an impingement correction surgery, which is a routine ophthalmology procedure and usually takes about half an hour.
