eyelash definition and meaning

What is "eyelash"?

Eyelashes are short, curved hairs that grow along the edges of the eyelids. They serve as a protective barrier for the eyes, helping to keep out dust, debris, and foreign objects. The eyelashes are also essential in preventing excessive light from entering the eyes, reducing glare, and providing shade. Additionally, eyelashes play a crucial role in enhancing the aesthetics of the eyes, adding definition and framing to the face. Their delicate structure and sensitivity make them responsive to touch, triggering a reflex action to blink when something comes into contact with them. Overall, eyelashes contribute to the health, function, and beauty of the eyes.
