  Yes, it is possible to get blepharitis by using too much eyelash extensions. Blepharitis is the chronic inflammation in the blepharitis skin and eyelash root which has a tendency to recur. It is often caused by chronic conjunctivitis, refractive error, dusty or irritating gas which long-term stimulates the body. The Self-conscious symptom is urticant painful eye, dry feeling and visual fatigue and so on. In some cases, the bacteria infection will be affected in the small parts. And the blepharitis may appear small ulcer, making eyelash off. It can cause conjunctivitis. The results of it are so bad. The material of eyelash extensions may contain the stimulating irritates which will make the eye roots get affected. You should better not use the eyelash extensions any more and accept the treatment to cure the blepharitis.

  Yes, it could cause that. You need to keep your eyelash extensions clean otherwise you will risk the chance of developing Blepharitis. It is an eye condition that causes inflammation and possible infection of the eyelid because a blocked eyelash follicle. The blockage normally occurs from sebum, dead skin cells and bacteria on the natural lash follicle. And blepharitis could occur when you have poor eye hygiene. It could make your eyes red, itching, swollen, crusting, burning sensation as well. Hence, you have to clean your lashes for at least 2 to 3 times weekly if you do not makeup, and for nightly if you do makeup.

  I have to say, there is a absolutely connection between them, one of my friend got blepharitis few weeks ago, then she went to the hospital, the doctor told her it's the eyelash extensions she used cause this infection. Most importantly, it's the steps she took are not right then make the eyes get infection. Then my friend came back, and then went to beauty center directly to ask for suggestion. She now does that in right order and right method without any touch of eyes
