Can You Continue to Use Latisse if You Have Had Cataract Surgery?

Latisse is a product used along the eyelash line to encourage the eyelashes to grow longer, fuller and darker. This is a product that really works. I recommend all of my surgical patients....that includes cataract surgery, Lasik surgery, PRK surgery and others, from abstaining from Latisse use for one week prior to surgery and one week after surgery, then the patient can fully resume use.

I have patients who do use Latisse after having cataract surgery and there aren't any issues because Latisse isn't put into the eye, but rather along the top eyelash line only. I would recommend that you ask the physician who did your cataract surgery though, simply because he/she may not want you touching your eyes too much right after, so he/she may want you to wait a specific timeframe after the surgery to continue your Latisse.
