Will Latisse Change Eye Color?

If I have light blue eyes, will Latisse turn my irises brown?

We have not had any of our patients report this complication. This doesn't mean that we will not see this complication of iris color change (to a darker color) in the future. We have had models and actresses who have light colored eyes as their marketing attribute ask us for Latisse, but we have advised them to avoid Latisse at this time to wait to see what others are experiencing. Even though it is a rare complication, I don't think it is worth risking a career based on eye color for Latisse.

Medicine is full of unknowns and risks. One must weight the pros and cons when considering medical options. I usually try my best to explain in person what we know, but that doesn't erase the risks and the unknown, but it gives you (as the patient) more information to make your own decision based on what we know.

With that said, I am happy to share that I am a happy user of Latisse (I have dark brown eyes).

Please discuss this in person with your doctor for more up to date and specific information.
