What are your eyelashes and eyebrows used for?

Eyelashes and eyebrows have important roles in protecting the eyes.

Eyelashes

- Protect the eyes from dust, dirt, and other particles that could potentially damage the cornea (the clear outer layer of the eye).

- Help to spread tears evenly over the surface of the eye, which keeps the eye moist and prevents it from drying out.

- Can help to block out bright light, which can be helpful in sunny conditions.

Eyebrows

- Help to keep sweat and rain out of the eyes.

- Provide shade for the eyes, which can help to reduce glare and improve vision in bright conditions.

- Help to express emotions and communicate nonverbally.
