I am 46 years old and have advanced glaucoma. My doctor has prescribed Lumigan as one of my medications. I have no insurance, and I have to pay out of pocket for all my medications. I have found a foreign pharmacy that sells bimatoprost 0.03%, labeled as Latisse, for $10/bottle (versus $60-70 in U.S. pharmacies). Would it be safe and effective to use the product labeled "Latisse" in place of Lumigan for glaucoma?
It's true that bimatoprost is a glaucoma medication, but only your ophthalmologist can tell you if it is appropriate for your type of glaucoma.
In addition, how do you know what you are getting by ordering medications from a foreign pharmacy? I would not recommend either using Latisse for glaucoma or getting it from a foreign pharmacy.
Can Timoptic (Timolol) Be Used Instead of Latiisse and Would the Same Effect on Lash Grow
Timoptic is a completely different glaucoma drop and has never had any affect on lash growth. Latisse (Lumigan or Bimatoprost) is an effective enhancer of lashes, both as used cosmetically as Latisse on a brush as well as the glaucoma drop.
I've read some conflicting answers. I have medium to dark blue eyes with no brown flecks. Some answers I've read say your eyes can only turn brown if brown pigment already exists in the iris while others just say it can cause darkening. So I'm wondering in the worst case senario if I did experience a darkening of the iris would they most likely turn to brown? Hazel? Dark blue? Or could they become more speckled? Any input would be appreciated :)
Even though Latisse is the same medication as the glacoma eye drops bimatoprost, Latisse is not supposed to be applied into the eye.
Bimatoprost can potentially darken the iris, primarily of people that already have brown eyes, if applied into the eye. Usually people with blue eyes do not experience this phenomenon.
Latisse is to be applied to the upper eyelid right above the eyelashes. It can cause some irritation of the eyelid and result is slight darkening or mild redness of the area where it is applied, but there are no reports of it changing eye color.
