I need advice on my uber straight eyelashes

My eyelashes are INCREDIBLY straight and grow downwards. They are growing into my eyeballs and it irritates them constantly. Curlers do not work, heated curlers only work for an hour or two. I'll take a lighter and heat up my curler and curl them and it still only works for an hour. I've never been able to keep my eyelashes up with any mascera I've tried so many. I'm desperate at this point. They block my vision, theyre painful, and personally I think they make me look ugly, and I look better with them curled. It doesnt help theyre also stupid long. At all times all im seeing is my own eyelashes. Ugh it's so frustrating does anybody have ideas as to wtf i can do, any products im open to suggestions I have tried a lot though.
