Things to prevent/st op lash growth
Long eye lashes are usually a good thing, but not when I have the Asian-ish lid where if you look at my eyes sideways, the top/bottom lashes on the inner corner goes inward instead of outward. And no, I can't curl it, because it's semi hidden by the skin over my inner corner, as illustrated by the hasty 5 sec Paint picture below (black is the eye you see, brown is the lash, and dotted grey is the lashline behind the skin over inner corner of my eyes).
I also tried plucking them, which hurt and make my eyes water better than onions and leave my eye corners a bit puffy and irritated the 2nd day. So then I'm resorted to itchy eyeballs and bad mood 24/7.
Now that all the extra information you don't need to know is out of the way, is there any serum or things I can use to prevent/inhibits/stop lash growth?
or any idea other than plucking or curling or poking sharp or hot things into corner of my eyes (kids, don't try this at home...or anywhere for that matter).

I'd recommend speaking to an eye surgeon. It sounds like you have mild entropion, where the eyelashes interfere with each other. I had a pet that had that problem and I took him to a veterinary eye surgeon and he did a minor operation that fixed it right up. Other than that, I would worry that any serums or do-it- yourself activities could cause infections and believe me, you don't want that. I had an eye infection once and they are excruciatingly painful.

Oh wow, didn't know there's a name for it. It used to not bother me since my lashes were super tiny, but now I got hairier (?) so I've got more and longer lashes and now it irritates. Does the operation change the way the eyes look? cuz I like the way my eyes look right now. =(
is it a fast one like wisdom tooth or does it prohibit you from seeing things for weeks?
