An '''eyelash''' is a [[fringe]] of special [[hair]]s on the edge of the [[eye]]lid in many [[mammal]]s. Eyelashes typically grow on both the top and bottom eyelids. Their main purpose is to protect the eye from small particles of dust and other debris. They are also very sensitive to touch, and signal when an object might be too close to the eye (which tends to cause the eyelid to close protectively).<ref>https://visioneyeinstitute.com.au/eyematters/the-eyelashes/</ref>
