After having eyelash extensions, red eyes usually subside in about 3 to 7 days, but it can vary depending on the individual and the cause of the redness:
- Mild Irritation: If the redness is due to mild irritation from the glue or the process itself, and there is no infection or other complications, with proper care, it may subside in 3 to 5 days. This involves avoiding rubbing the eyes, keeping them clean, and using any recommended eye drops or soothing agents.
- Allergic Reaction: For those who have an allergic reaction to the materials used in eyelash extensions, the redness may take 5 to 7 days to improve. In this case, it's necessary to remove the extensions promptly and may require the use of anti - allergic medications or eye drops as prescribed by a doctor.
- Infection: If bacteria or other pathogens enter the eye during the eyelash extension process and cause an infection, such as conjunctivitis, the redness may last longer, around 7 days or more. Treatment usually involves the use of antibiotic eye drops or ointments, and it's important to follow the doctor's instructions carefully.
If the redness persists for more than 7 days, is accompanied by severe pain, blurred vision, or other abnormal symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately.
