Which eyelash phase does NOT account for 30% of the lashes on the eye?

1. Anlagen

2. Telogen

3. Catagen

4. None of the Above

The correct answer is: None of the Above

The correct answer reflects that none of the phases listed account for 30% of the lashes on the eye. Each of the phases—Anagen, Telogen, and Catagen—represents different stages in the growth cycle of eyelashes. In the Anagen phase, the lashes are actively growing, and a significant portion of the lashes will be in this phase at any given time, typically around 40-45%. Telogen is the resting phase, where lashes are not actively growing but are still present, usually involving another significant percentage, around 20-25%. Catagen is the transitional phase, which usually affects a much smaller portion, typically representing around 1-2% of lashes at a given time as it lasts only a short duration. Therefore, since each specific phase does not individually account for 30% of the lashes, the implication is that the statement that none of them do is correct. The phrasing in "None of the Above" indicates that all options provided are less than 30%, confirming that none of the eyelash phases listed meet that criterion.
