Can Accidentally Getting Latisse in Your Eyes Damage Your Vision?
You should avoid doing this as Latisse is meant to be used on the lashes. However, one episode of getting Latisse in your eye should not cause you any long term issues. I hope this information is helpful.

Latisse in the eyes.
A single episode of Latisse into the eye will not damage your eye. There have been rare reported cases of darkening of the iris with prolonged use. THis drug was actually used for glaucoma and the noted side effect was longer eyelashes and that is how it came to be a cosmetic treatment.

It's not a problem and poses no issues as Latisse was originally used for direct use in the eyes to treat glaucoma. Your eyes are probably irritated and blurry from what you were trying to use the eye drops for, not from the Latisse.

This has been demonstrated by applying a colored dye to the eyelid margin and watching its migration. In the clinical trials for Latisse, the most common side effects were redness, irritation and itching which resolved upon discontinuation of the medication. You...
