Rixson told BuzzFeed News that she had been whipped on October 19 at a local salon and that things quickly deteriorated.
"When she was first, my eyes burned a lot," said Rixson. "But she said, do not worry, it's normal, and told me to keep your eyes open.
"It burned so much that my eyes closed naturally, but she did not stop telling me to keep them open.After that, I sat on the bed and could not open them. said, it's not normal, but she did not stop saying it was. "
She thinks that the salon has used nail glue instead of eyelash glue, which is certainly not pleasant for the eyes.
Rixson went to a walk-in clinic about two hours after getting the eyelashes and was able to get eye drops and an eye wash to treat them.
Although eyelash extensions are very popular right now, you have to be very careful. There is a lack of regulation for the procedure, which means that it's easy to go to a place that does not do it safely.
Samuel D. Pierce is an optometrist and president of the American Optometric Association. He told BuzzFeed News that many eyelash extensions can be problematic.
"They have the potential to cause redness, irritation and inflammation that can lead to conjunctivitis or pink eye from foreign particles trapped," he said.
You could also have an allergic reaction to the glue and the glue could cause abrasions of the cornea.
These can turn into an ulcer, which can be infected. This could cause vision loss, even permanently.
Some people also choose extensions, which bring out their natural eyelashes.
"You end up having the absolute opposite of what you set for yourself," he said.
Pierce said that if you feel redness or discomfort after placing your eyelashes, do not hesitate to see an optometrist. The same goes for other procedures such as eyelash dyeing or dazzling.
You should also ask your beautician questions about the type of glue she uses and make sure she respects hygiene, such as washing your hands and wearing gloves.
As for Pierce, he would prefer that you get good mascara.
"My first advice would be not to do it," he said.
