Eye color change with Latisse? Not for blue eyes

The eye color change warning for Latisse involves darkening of light brown or hazel eyes to a darker brown. Latisse does not turn your blue eyes brown. Even to those with light brown eyes, the risk is minimal when Latisse is used correctly, painted on the eyelid and not put directly in the eye. Try it! It is fabulous!

Iris color unlikely to change with Latisse

Iris color is unlikely to change with Latisse as long as you use it as directed.  It is only 5% of the dose when  used with the brush on the lid.  In glaucoma the drop is put in the eye.  Even here the change of iris color was about 3%.  Any iris color change is permanent.
