Some optometrists have advised women against indiscriminate use of artificial eyelashes during the festive period to avoid damage to the cornea.
The optometrists, in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos, also advised women to patronize experts, if they must wear the lashes.
NAN reports that the use of eye lashes has taken root in the Nigerian fashion scene, especially during festive periods.
A Consultant Optometrist, Eniola Ajayi, said: “If one must wear eye lashes, you have to follow the laid down procedures as approved by professional anesthesiologists”.
