Unfortunately this is a condition in which one of several procedures are recommended and they all require general anesthesia. There is no way to treat this at home without removing the offending eyelashes that are growing the wrong way. If you have not looked into CareCredit yet, this is a great option if you are having financial constraints. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
