A UNIVERSITY student has shared a literally eye-watering video of what happened when her false eyelashes were attached with nail glue.
Megan Rixson, 20, urged her social media followers to be “very, very careful” where they get their eyelashes done.
The criminology student at the University of Bedfordshire posted a video to her Twitter account showing the damage that the glue had done to her eyes at the time.
Megan got her treatment at a small shop in Luton, Bedfordshire.
She captioned the video: "Girls be very very careful where you get your eyelashes done! I got my individuals done today somewhere new and it turns out they used nail glue on my lashes. I genuinely lost my sight for two hours.
"Thankfully the swelling has gone down but they are still very sore."
In the video, Megan explains that the tears are not due to being upset but because her eyes are constantly watering as a result of the botched treatment.
She points to her right eye and says that it is “on fire” and then reveals her left eye is struggling to fully open. Megan then says “everything is very blurry.”
The video has since been viewed more than half a million times. It has also received over 1,500 retweets.
The clip generated a lot of reaction, with over 90 replies to the original post.
Twitter user AlexisLovesMe said: “Once I got mine done and the glue burned my eyes and the side of my skin. The lashes didn’t even last a week!!!! It’s so scary to have something happen with your eyes!”
Megan reacted by saying it was “so scary”.
SophiaTassew commented: “Deffo go to the hospital to get some checks and hopefully they’ll supply you with some aftercare!”
Megan said that she has received eye drops and a special eye wash to help her eyes recover.

Megan has also been retweeting some of the responses she has been getting from people sharing their disbelief at the treatment.
Princess_b3tty said: “Reminder don’t go just anywhere for your lashes do your research and make sure they’re lash tech certified!”
Lucyingo commented: “Oh my god this is horrendous. Nail glue tho what the f*.”
Bre_Lauren27 wrote: “Nah this is why I do my own lashes.”
Megan said the shop where she had the treatment did not patch test her and described them as “very unprofessional”.
