Can't get darker then brown

Latisse has never been reported to darken the iris. The formulation of the same drug used for glaucoma called Lumigen has a reported %1.5 risk of turning a light eye darker.

If your eyes are already brown that can't get much darker and I would not worry about this small risk.
