Loss Of Eyelashes, Low Iron. Should I Take More Vitamins In Diet?

Hi, I my name is Samantha and im 19 years old.
Ive been concerned about my eyelashes falling off constantly. They have always been long and suddenly there becoming less long. I also dont use mascara as much, only twice a week. My mother keeps mentioning that is the shortage of not receiving enough vitamins in body which leads to loss of eyelashes, etc. Also because I have extremely low iron. So I was wondering what is the problem, is there anything I can improve by eating more foods with vitamins that would help my eyelashes to remain more stronger...
