The ingredient in Latisse that makes lashes grow is the same as one of the glaucoma medications, the class of which is known as "prostaglandin analogues." I know of no link between use of prostaglandin analogues and macular degeneration. If such a link existed, we would be required to warn many of our glaucoma patients of said risk.
Latisse should not have any effect on you developing macular degeneration. However, you should get a complete eye examination to include intraocular pressure and a dilated fundus exam. Latisse lengthens, thickens and darkens lashes and is not contraindicated if one has macular degeneration or cataracts. I hope this reply helps.
Though there is not an established link between using Latisse and increasing the risk for macular degeneration, I would advise against using. It will be best to just not tempt fate.
Latisse stimulates hair growth. Your own hair growth. It will not change a masculine face into a feminine one, your hair/eyelashes will not look like a woman's hair or eyelashes

This is probably the most asked question for patients before starting Latisse. Similar to what the other physicians have previously stated, there is no guarantee it will not happen. However, this is much more likely should the product be placed in the eye and not superficially on the lash line....
Thank you for your question. If you stop using Latisse the unwanted hairs will go away, however so will the results for the lashes. It sounds like you may be over applying and might also be applying to the lower lash line. Latisse should only be used on your upper lashes and should be one drop...
Latisse is best used on clean eyelashes. The glue from the extensions can inhibit the Latisse actually absorbing, so it's best to not have them on when using Latisse. If you insist, you can, but just know that you will not get the same growth rate and some eyelashes may not receive any product...
This is the most common question (but usually regarding making the Iris darker) I hear and from the studies, I don't believe that they show anyone who has had iris color changes with applying Latisse to their lashes-- if this side effect occurs, it is very rare. They saw these changes when...
