Long eyelashes are dangerous for healthy eyes

American scientists were able to determine the optimal length of the lashes. More precisely, secure their length, which you should not exceed.

Eyelashes are designed to protect the eyes from dirt (not for beauty, as is considered in modern society). And their optimal length – no more than one-third of the width of the eye. If they are longer, instead of protecting the eyes from pollution, eyelashes will send it to the eyeball. That is, when the eyelashes are artificially increased, they are harmful to health.
Research conducted by scientists at Georgia Institute of Technology, headed by Guillermo Amador. They were able to determine a reasonable maximum for eyelashes, but acceptable minimum has not been.

By the way, the findings of scientists are not only for lovers of cosmetics, but also for space projects. Given the new rules in the U.S. will begin to design Rovers – they will be made of a special mesh, designed for cleaning solar panels Rovers. As you know, one of the Rovers NASA was unable to continue working due to the fact that he was in a sand dune, not blown by winds (wind was blown away with the device surface sand and dust). So Rovers will now have their “eyelash” to protect against small chastic settling on solar while traveling on the red planet.
