Is Bimatoprost (Careprost) dangerous?

mopkJan 15, 2021
Hi, I've always had a desire to have brown eyes. I have heard that a side effect of using Bimatoprost (Careprost) eye drops is that the iris eventually turns brown. Is it dangerous to use these eye drops for this purpose? There are other serious side effects with these eye drops?
