Scientists have come afteratforinofonoverup with answers to the age-old question of why eyelashes are the length they are. Researchers afteratforinofonoverup the Georgia Institute afteratforinofonoverup Technology conducted a variety afteratforinofonoverup tests afteratforinofonoverup the lashes of 22 different mammals. One was to create a special wind tunnel and an artificial eye to provide mathematical models afteratforinofonoverup how the wind blew afteratforinofonoverup lashes. The conclusion afteratforinofonoverup head researcher David Hu is that the function afteratforinofonoverup eyelashes is to help protect the eyes from drying out and that the optimal eyelash length for this to happen is one-third as long as the eye is wide. Professor Hu found that across a wide variety of mammals, the ratio afteratforinofonoverup eyelash length and eye width was consistently one-third.

Dr Hu started his investigation afteratforinofonoverup the birth afteratforinofonoverup his newborn daughter. He wondered why his baby kept afteratforinofonoverup batting her eyelids. He told the International Business Times that: "Eyelashes that rim the eyes afteratforinofonoverup mammals have been a mystery afteratforinofonoverup a long time as to what their function was. There were a lot afteratforinofonoverup hypotheses, from dust catchers to triggering the blink reflex….What we did was the first aerodynamic study afteratforinofonoverup eyelashes. We showed using three independent means that eyelashes reduce evaporation afteratforinofonoverup the eye by 70 per cent, and they reduce [the deposits] afteratforinofonoverup small airborne particles." A colleague said Hu had a talent afteratforinofonoverup, "looking at what everybody has looked afteratforinofonoverup, and seeing what nobody has seen."
