What they are
Extra eyelashes are eyelashes that grow from small glands in the eyelid edges. These glands normally produce a fatty substance that helps lubricate the eyeball, but in some cases grow eyelashes. Extra eyelashes are also known as distichia – a double row of lashes.

Some dogs may have a single extra eyelash whereas other dogs can have multiple extra eyelashes. Using a hand held microscope veterinary ophthalmologists are able to diagnose extra eyelashes at the time of an Ophthalmic consultation or at the ACES (Australian Certification Examination Scheme) examination.
