I had PRK surgery on October 27th of 08. Then had a removal of scar tissue in one eye in Oct of 09. Could I start using the product lattisse or should I wait? If so how long do I have to wait?

Answer: Latisse Use Latisse is an incredible safe medication IF used properly. It is meant to be applied very sparingly on the junction of the upper lid with the eyelashes at bed time. According to its manufacturer Latisse should not be used by pregnant women / nursing mothers, in people with active intraocular inflammation (e.g., uveitis), in those with active eye condition, including an eye infection, or have broken eyelid skin, by patients with known risk factors for macular edema or by cataract patients who either had their eye lens removed or replaced with a lens implant. Having had surgery a few months ago is NOT a contraindication. For the most comprehensive review of LATISSE on the Internet, follow the link below. Dr. P. Aldea
