I have lense implants in both of my eyes due to cataracts (in my early 40's) Everything went fine and no problems - is there any reason why I should not use latisse?
Answer: Latisse After Cataract Surgery
There is no problem using Latisse after cataract surgery. I recommend for my patients to stop Latisse about 4 days before cataract surgery and resume about 4 days afterwords. The only reason I do this is to avoid some minor irritation to the eye from the Latisse. Otherwise, Latisse is not an issue when you are having cataracts removed, or Laser Vision Correction(Lasik or PRK).

Answer: It is Safe to Use Latisse with Lens Implants
When Latisse is properly applied as directed to the upper eyelid margin using the supplied applicator, the surface of the eye is exposed to a very small amount of Latisse. This has been demonstrated by applying a colored dye to the eyelid margin and watching its migration. It does not penetrate the eye itself and therefore is quite safe and will not affect lens implants. Side effects otherwise are quite rare with Latisse with less than 4 percent of people experienced redness, irritation and itching of the upper eyelid which was reversible upon discontinuation.
