Can newborns have their eyelashes cut?

Huang Shan, chief physician of the Provincial Department of Maternal and Child Surgery, said that cutting the eyelashes of newborns does more harm than good.

Eyelashes play a protective role for baby's eyes. Without this natural barrier, light will unscrupulously stimulate the baby's eye membrane, reduce the eyes' ability to resist dust, and cause eye infections and various eye diseases.

If you want your baby's eyelashes to be long and curled, the most important thing is to supplement them with nutrition.

Two factors that affect eyelash growth

1. Genetic factors: Many babies' eyelashes are the same as their parents' when they were young, and they will gradually become darker as they grow older;

2. Nutritional factors: The color of baby's eyelashes is related to the protein, vitamins and trace elements he takes in. Foods that help eyelashes grow include black sesame, black beans, Polygonum multiflorum, as well as tofu, seaweed, fruits and vegetables, which are all sources of black eyelashes.

The importance of eyelashes to you

Eyelashes can effectively block foreign objects from entering the eyes. If you live in the north, such as Beijing, you will clearly feel the role of eyelashes when the winds blow and the sky is full of yellow sand in spring and autumn. When you squint your eyes, your upper and lower eyelashes fit together, forming a dense "screen window" in front of your eyes, blocking out flying foreign objects (excluding bricks, eggs, shoes, stones and other objects that are obviously intended to attack).

If you like to sweat, you can also experience the role of eyelashes. A drop of sweat flows down from your head, slowly flows over your forehead, and goes straight to your eyes... At this time, if there are no eyelashes to block it for you, then congratulations, you have experienced the feeling of salt water flowing into your eyes. By the way, in this process, the eyebrows also play an indispensable role in blocking it.
