eyelashes help keep dust and other airborne particles out of your eyes
Eyelashes prevent particles in the air or environment such as dust from getting into a person's eye. Eyelashes also stop particles in close proximity of the eye from entering the eye by sealing off the space between the closed lids and the eyes. The curve and structure of any eyelash keep foreign water or moisture from getting into the eye. Eyelashes are also very sensitive and can help detect the proximity between an eye or face and its environment, much like the whiskers on a cat. They sense if something such as small insects and particles are near your face and eyes. To keep the dust and dirt out of your eyes. Eyelashes catch dust floating around near the eye and act as dust catchers to prevent dust from hitting the eye. Without eyelashes, our eyes would get irritated by dust hitting the eye, not to mention we would look weird. They can make you look good and girls make them curl so they are important to them obviously. Probably to catch sweat or other liquids from rolling down your face and get it your eyes.
Eyelashes protect the eye from debris. They perform some of the same function as whiskers do on a cat or a mouse in the sense that they are sensitive to being touched, providing a warning that an object is near the eye.

Eye lashes protect your eye from dust, sweat and other airborne particles getting in them. Just like nose hairs that stop particles from getting into your respiratory tract.
