Will Blurry Eyes Caused By The Application Of Coconut Oil Fade Away?
I heard that coconut oil can make your eyelashes grow, so I bought some and applied it to my eyelashes. A minute after applying the oil to my lashes, my vision started to blur. I washed out my eyes and tried to blink the oil out but my vision is still blurry. I am worried that the blurry mess wouldn t fade away.
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I have read your description and understand your concern. Applying coconut oil would not help your eye lashes to grow. Hence you have been mislead about it. It only provides soothing effect on the skin. Since the oil has entered your eyes, it could have caused blurring of vision. Do not worry as it will go away with time. Kindly take care to wash your eyes with mild soap and water about 3 to 4 times a day. Be gentle and do not rub your eyes. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best and wish you speedy recovery.
