Hi! I have researched Latisse so many times over the years, and while I really want to try it, I know that my particular eye color is the one that is susceptible to changing when bimatoprost is used INSIDE the eye as drops for glaucoma. Do you think with my eye color I would be safe to use it only on my lash line for eyelash growth, or is there more info now that suggests I should not? Thank you!!

Answer: Latisse/ Side Effects - Eye color, changes, Lashes
Thanks for your question. I have not personally seen this phenomenon from Latisse, but I suppose anything is possible. It might be best to consult an ophthalmologist with a number of years of experience and see if they think this is a common problem. Best of luck!
Thank you for your question. I would not worry about missing 8-9 doses of Latisse especially if your lashes are at a length that you like. If you continue to miss doses, they will return to their "before" length but that will take many more missed doses. I hope this answered your question:)
Latisse helps eyelashes grow longer, thicker and it takes about 6 weeks to notice a good improvement. The lashes, however, have a finite length which is different for each person. They will maintain that length if the patient stays on the medication.
