Latisse & Cataracts

Latisse is safe to use following cataract surgery. I would advise waiting 6 weeks after the procedure to limit any inflammation that it might cause.

You can use Latisse after cataract surgery and Restor lenses

You can use Latisse after cataract surgery and Restor lenses. Latisse should be applied only with the applicator right on the upper area of the lashes. By using the applicator very little of the product, if any, should get in the eye.

Use of Latisse after cataract surgery and Restor lenses

Latisse is used on the eyelid margin but it is possible that some of it gets in the eye. One of the potential sides effects is swelling of the macular or the area of central acuity, which can occur more commonly after cataract surgery.  I would recommend that you seek the care of an eyeMD to determine in your particular situation whether Latisse is recommended.
