Give me a minute I'll check.........
you may be on to something. My eye lashes seem to be thinner, but I have also notice the lack of hair on my legs.

Mine as thick as ever, though that doesn't mean that it's the same for everyone.
Nope. That's a new one.
No problem here ... maybe you been batting your eyes too much at the babes
No difference at all.

That's a new one for me. I've heard nothing about eyelash loss.
That's one I've never heard of.
However, a number of conditions can cause loss of eyelashes. I have problems with blepheritis, which can cause loss of eyelashes.

I've had blepheritis also, and pollen seasons particularly bother my eyes, so that when I rub them of course the eyelashes can become damaged. My opthamologist says to take a soft cloth with warm water to gently wipe the eyelids.
I haven't lost all my lashes but they do seem to be thinner and not as healthy and strong. I don't have as much hair on my head or underarms and hardly any left on my legs. I blame everything that happens to me on warfarin/coumadin or lanoxin but I don't have proof. Just put together what I have read or heard and it kind of all seems that way. It seems that I see qute of few of the same syptoms on here.
Still got plenty eye lashes that I have to trim but no longer have under arm hair... I'm sure it's due to that nasty warfarin!
But for some reason that nasty stuff hasn't effected the hair on my head, other than it's taken the black out of it.

Please tell me it's not true. I've been wondering why I have some silver strands showing up here and there.

Would like for warfarin to cause me to permanently lose the hair on my legs and underarms -- no more shaving!!!!!!!!

I don't take warfarin but I have taken a chemo drug called Gleevec for over six years and it has called my hair to be thinner, my eyelashes to fall out (at times.) I have no hair on my body at all. I guess you could call that a good thing. I never have to shave my legs or underarms. I'm wonderimg what else the drug is doing to me that I don't know about, but oh well, it's keeping my leukemia in remission and that's the important thing. I can do without a little hair! !
