It may present congenitally as part of genetic ectodermal syndromes or arise as an acquired state secondary to aging, localized eyelid inflammation such as blepharitis, mechanical trauma, chemotherapy, or systemic alopecia

Pathophysiologically, the condition involves follicular dysfunction marked by shortened anagen growth phases, prolonged telogen resting intervals, or diminished follicular miniaturization Clinically, affected individuals exhibit sparse, fine, or absent eyelashes, which can compromise the natural ocular barrier against foreign debris and moisture while impacting facial aesthetics
