It is not permissible to trim your eyebrows. It is possible for you to obtain medical treatment for the white strands on your eyebrows.

And Allah Knows Best

Is plucking or threading the eyebrows permissible?

“If a few strands of hair of the eyebrows are extremely long, causing obstruction to vision or creating discomfort to the eyes (due to protruding into the eyes) and require some trimming, there is no harm in doing so.”
