Can You Continue to Use Latisse if You Have Had Cataract Surgery?

Latisse is a product used along the eyelash line to encourage the eyelashes to grow longer, fuller and darker. This is a product that really works. I recommend all of my surgical patients....that includes cataract surgery, Lasik surgery, PRK surgery and others, from abstaining from Latisse use for one week prior to surgery and one week after surgery, then the patient can fully resume use.

The eye is still exposed to a very small amount of Latisse even when it is properly applied as directed to the upper eyelid margin using the supplied applicator. This has been demonstrated by applying a colored dye to the eyelid margin and watching its migration. It would be wise to wait for several weeks until your surgery has healed before resuming Latisse.
