Thank you for you quick response. I did do some further reading and found that the active ingredient in Latisse that is used for glaucoma can indeed cause cataracts. It is known that this drug is used in much lower quantities in Latisse, but still it is a mystery that in early 2010 at my eye exam there was absolutely no sign of cataracts (and it is a slow growing disease) and then after one and one half years of using Latisse, I have full grown cataracts that require immediate surgery.My doctor is very concerned about this as am I.

I started using Latisse about a year and a half ago. I was just diagnosed with advanced cataracts at my 2011 exam. My 2010 eye exam, which was done right before I started using Latisse, shows no sign of cataracts. Also, cataracts usually take a long time to develop. What is going on here?
