The conjunctiva is a thin membrane that covers the inside of the eyelids and the white part of the eye (sclera), making a continuous sealed area that nothing can escape from except the front.
Also the area behind/around the eye is cushioned by fat and muscle so there's no room for it. Your eyes don't bounce around for a reason.
When the eyelash randomly disappears, I assume your eyelids managed to sweep it into the middle and pick it up when they opened again. If you gently brush your eyelashes, the loose one might fall out. Unfortunately mine are a real pain to get out so they don't just disappear :')
Hopping on this helpful and informative post to add my own tidbit: If you find you get loose eyelashes in your eyes a lot, or that they seem to curl inward and poke your eye a lot, see your optometrist about the possibility of blepharitis--a chronic inflammation of the eyelids. It's a lifelong condition, no cure, but there is a pretty simple daily treatment and hopping on it will drastically improve your quality of life. I used to think it was normal to constantly want to rub your eyes because they itched--surprise! It's not.
The traditional way is to scoop out your eyeballs and blast bug spray into the sockets. Can't say I recommend it as they just tend to take refuge in the brain, and if you don't kill them you'll really piss them off. Better just to cancel all your TV subscription services and read 18th century literature for at least 6 hours a day. There is a fair chance they will just get bored and leave of their own accord.
I’d like to go on the record as saying

Wow, that was utterly vile, thank you for explaining to the world why I wear glasses when I need to see shit. God damn, Funkhauser school of funnily disgusting!
I saw the green and immediately thought "algae" but that'd be nearly impossible in the eyeball. And if it was she'd have way bigger concerns than the lenses
I like how it has text saying "don't sleep in your contacts" as if that's the real issue, rather than this lady being an idiot. Like she slept in them and woke up the next day thinking "Oh well, guess it just dissolved in my eyeball, time to put more contacts in!"
I have this fear that every time I eat instant ramen a little bit gets stuck and one day they'll have to cut me open to pull it all out like hair in the drain.
don't worry, eyelashes are biodegradable so the old ones have probably already decayed and got reabsorbed into your body :)
Yeah, the eyelashes get absorbed into the eyeball; it's basic eyeballogy.
Tear is stored in the (eye)ball
This guy knows ball
thats why I eat mines, no energy wasted
good on the body for recycling, that's nice :)
Or just turned into eye boogers
If anyone is actually worried about this

They caught this bug in the beta release
As a doctor, I can assure you there is never any buildup of eyelashes behind your eyeball. The spiders eat them all.
The funniest part - this is unironically true. Yes, really.
I'm an internet commentator.
Whirring sound of sonic screwdriver
Dr bampop, please advise how to exterminate our ocular spider infestation.

another reason to love spiders <3
Are eyelashes digestible? Or do the spiders have stomach full of them?
There are some contact lenses too.
Indeed
There's a fix for that.
Eye scream scoop
I prefer a corkscrew.

“Are you uncomfortable with eye contact?”
I heard that story and this came into my mind immediately.

The green makes it look worse, it's just a dye to make it easier to identify the lenses.

:C
Oh my, the scraps of innocence I had are now gone. Thanks.
What? This happens to people?
Anytime I get an eyelash on my eye, it stays there being obnoxious until I remove it.
Hold still...
I like it when that happens because the hairs scratch itches way back there.
That reminds me, I need to get my eyeballs sliced to drain some floaters.
I have this fear that every time I eat instant ramen a little bit gets stuck and one day they'll have to cut me open to pull it all out like hair in the drain.
Nah, this is impossible
TIHI. Didn’t expect that.
Thanks for that nightmare! My day was too nice anyway..
