Latisse is Causing Red Eyes - is It OK to Continue Using It?
I have been using it for about 3 weeks now, it made my eyes kind of itchy, and I accidently rubbed it when I woke up a week ago, my eye has been red since. I stopped wearing contact lenses right away, and stopped using Latisse for 3 days, and it kind of cleared up.
I tried using it again last night, and my eyes are red again this morning. My question is, should I contiune? or should I do Latisse every other day until my eyes get used to it? Thanks!

Remember, Latisse is for cosmetic purposes. Any risk of damaging your eye is not worth it so please get this checked out.
