Eyelash extensions have become increasingly popular since the early 2000s, after Japanese and Korean beauty innovators developed the lash-by-lash technique, which involved the attachment of synthetic lashes to each individual natural lash. This technique offered longer retention times and a more customizable look compared to traditional strip lashes. The Canadian market for eyelash extensions is also significantly influenced by social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok, where beauty influencers and enthusiasts alike promote various eyelash styles and makeup tutorials. What is rarely included in these promotions, however, is the increased risk of ocular discomfort, including itching, eye pain, styes, and even loss of natural lashes.
