Eyelashes protect the eye from small things the likes of powders from our make ups or from our surroundings and 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, thus providing a warning that an object such as an insect or dust mite is near the eye which is then closed reflexively.
Eyelashes protect the eyes as a way of filtering out dirt that may enter more easily if we didn't have eyelashes. This is also the reason we have hair in the other areas of the body including nose hairs.
They keep things that are harmful to your eyes away. The second something touches your eyelashes your eyes automatically closed. Try touching your eyelashes fast, in a way to not expect when you'll touch them, that way it's unexpected, and you'll see the reflex... It's like a hazard. Pretty cool huh? :)
