Anyone have eyelids/ eyelashes get "tangled" in the skin/ flesh above?

At least 3-4 times lately, and again this morning when I got up, one eye was AFU, I thought something was "in." But I could not SEE it, and it felt like it was under the upper lid. Went to work, left work annoyed and in pain about 9AM, got into a "substitute" doctor about 11. She seemed attentive enough, but found nothing and suggested nothing

THEN I finally was able to look "back in" with a hand mirror, and I can SEE where the eyelashes are getting all tangled between the eyelid (which you can't see when open) as it "retracts" "into" the fleshy skin and flesh directly above my eyelid. I'm convinced this is where the root of the problem lies. Bear in mind it is difficult for "me" by myself to actually see this.......

Anyone had surgery/ other treatments to mitigate this?

You can see here what I mean, I believe
