Can Lattisse Cause Discolor of the White in Eyes?

I have used Lumigan (same as Latisse) directly on the eye for the treatment of thousands of glaucoma patients. I have not seen discoloration of the white of the eye in any of them. Some have developed darkening of the lids and peri-ocular area. This is considered a reversible side effect when the medication is discontinued. It can make the white of the eye look red, sometimes very red. This is called hyperemia. Again, this will resolve in most patients over a few weeks, but discontinuation is sometimes recommended if it bothers the patient. 

 

 

 

latisse works by causing melanocyte hyperplasia, there are few in your sclera so it shouldn't darken that. just don't get it in your eyes and it won't darken your sclera or iris. the women who get darker iris problems are the ones who are careless and get the product in their eyes, instead of only on the lid margins or base of the lashes, where it is supposed to be carefully applied
