Latisse should not cause a change in the color of the iris
Over two and a half million prescriptions for Latisse have been filled with no confirmed reports of changes in color of either the whites of the eyes or the iris.

Latisse Should Not Cause Discoloration of the White of Your Eye

Latisse and discoloration
Latisse works by causing melanocyte hyperplasia, there are few in your sclera so it shouldn't darken that. just don't get it in your eyes and it won't darken your sclera or iris. the women who get darker iris problems are the ones who are careless and get the product in their eyes, instead of only on the lid margins or base of the lashes, where it is supposed to be carefully applied
