Will I be able to use the new Latisse eyelash extension mascara if I wear contacts?

Latisse can be used by contact lens wearers. On the Allergan website for Latisse, there are directions for use. The first step to using Latisse is to remove makeup and contact lenses from the eyes. Latisse can also cause dryness of the eyes, which may cause increased irritation in patients who are using contact lenses.

Remove your contact lenses before applying, and wait about 15 minutes afterward before re-inserting.

Latisse can be safely used even if you wear contacts. The medication is applied to the root of the eyelashes only to promote growth. From El Paso.

Latisse can safely be used by individuals who wear contact lenses. I find it is easiest for my patients to use the Latisse once they have washed off all of their makeup and removed their contact lenses, immediately before going to sleep.

It just work out well.

Latisse can be used by contact lense wearers, but be sure to remove them prior to application as the solution can be absorbed into the lense and cause irritation of the eye. Remember apply only to the upper eyelid, and wipe off any excess. Remove your lenses before and wait 15 minutes until replacement or do it before you go to bed. I hope this helps. Dr. Trussler

Latisse may be used with contacts. It is unaffected by contact use. Latisse is use on the outside of your eye so that you do not need to worry. If your eye does get irritated while using Latisse you should contact your doctor.
