I have been using it for about 3 weeks now, it made my eyes kind of itchy, and I accidently rubbed it when I woke up a week ago, my eye has been red since. I stopped wearing contact lenses right away, and stopped using Latisse for 3 days, and it kind of cleared up. I tried using it again last night, and my eyes are red again this morning. My question is, should I contiune? or should I do Latisse every other day until my eyes get used to it? Thanks!

There is a counterfeit for everything!
I see this to many times patients come to my office in tears after trying to save a few hundred dollars by going to see a "Specialist" from out of town that came for a short time to do treatments at a hotel room.
You have to wonder who is this...
Latisse is applied to the upper eyelid margin which results in little or no product ever touching the eyeball itself. Even if a tiny amount did reach the eyeball, the effect would in fact be to lower the pressure of the eye, not increase it.
You definitely need to clean the eye before applying the latisse. This is also why Allergan has given multiple brushes, so that a clean brush is used with each application.
Do not place the latisse directly into the eye. Latisse is actually a glaucoma medication. It is sold as Lumigan and this...
