eyelash

Eyelashes are the short, thick hairs that grow on the edges of the eyelids. They help to protect the eyes from dust, dirt, and other small particles.

Eyelashes are made up of the same type of hair that grows on the rest of the body, but they are shorter and thicker. They are also attached to the eyelids in a different way.

Eyelashes grow in a curved pattern, which helps to deflect dust and dirt away from the eyes. They also help to keep the eyes moist by trapping moisture in the air.
