Why Do Lenses Have to Be Removed if No Latisse Gets into Eye?
I don't understand why lenses need to be removed at all, as long as none of the Latisse gets into the eye and subsequently onto the lense. i have soft disposable contacts and if i keep removing them they will get damaged and the idea of having 2-3 week wearable disposable lenses (without having to remove them other than dispose of them) cancels out the whole idea of having them. I have been using Latisse for 2 weeks and have not removed them even once. I never got any in my eye when applying

After 15 minutes, you can reinsert your contact lenses but most people don't because Latisse is used before bed.

Contact lenses and Latisse

This is per the FDA. The reason is that, just in case, if anything were to get into the eye, you could potentially trap it on the eyeball itself by having the contact there. If you are comfortable not removing your contacts and making sure to keep the Latisse only on the outside of the lid, which is really where...
