Posted under Latisse q&a

If I keep my contacts in while using Latisse, does it make it less effective or not work at all?

gm1015
My doctor never told me that I should remove my contacts when applying latisse. Both my ophthalmologist and dermatologist did not mention this. Does this mean that the Latisse was being absorbed into the contact rather than into my eyelashes? Have I been religiously putting Latisse in for no reason whatsoever?
