How safe is Latisse after cataract surgery ? Will Latisse elevate my already high eye pressure ?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This should be fine, but I recommend following up with your surgeon about their protocol regarding using Latisse after surgery. Viviscal and prp can help regrow lashes as well. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for your question.  You should not have any problems using your Latisse after eye surgery as long as you are cleared by your ophthalmologist/surgeon.  The medication is actually something originally used to decrease pressure in the eye, so should not raise the pressure.
Best of luck!

Thank you for your inquiry.  There is no issue in using Latisse after cataract surgery, and it can be started one to two weeks after surgery. Latisse has the same active ingredient used to treat glaucoma, which means it’s safe for increased ocular pressure.  The amazing lash lengthening properties of Latisse were discovered after glaucoma patients, treated with the same active ingredient, all experienced excessively long lashes.  Nothing works better to give thicker and longer lashes! Enjoy the results. Best, Dr. Hure
