According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, eyelash extensions can cause trauma to the eye, infections, even eyelash loss.

"From the tweezers if they're not properly sanitized it can cause trauma and infection to the cornea which is the clear front part of the eye it can also lead to dryness," Kaiser Permanente cornea specialist Thomas Chia said.

Chia also says there can be major allergic reactions.House of Beauty, technician Daniella Ante-Rede has several years in the eyelash business.She says the most important thing is to do your research. Don't be afraid to ask for referrals or picture of their work because the quest for beauty can come at a price.

"I've heard stories of people using nail glue and lots of time it's because they're not educated or they're taking the cheaper route," Ante-Rede said. "It could be damaging, and that's where a lot of people get afraid because they hear oh it took out my eyelashes, well that's typically because they were improperly applied."

So, if you're going to extreme lengths to make your eyes pop, don't forget to ask about technician education and product quality.
