My eye is twitching with Latisse use. Is this normal?

Question

There is a 2 year old post on here regarding this above issue, and it seems all the Physicians at the time said it wasn't related, but coincidental. Have your opinions changed? I have used Latisse before with no problems, but recently my left eye has been twitching. I'm not experiencing any more or less stress, no caffeine consumption, etc. The only different thing is I stared using Latisse again a couple months ago. It is causing it, I'm just wondering if it will get worse, stay the same, etc?

Latisse, to the best
of my knowledge, is not been associated with eye twitching. However, as with
any medicine, if there is something unusual happening to you while you are
using it, it is prudent to contact your provider, make an appointment, and be
evaluated to look for the cause and effect. This is just not something you hear
about in regards to Latisse.

I still have not had anyone tell me they have eye twitches after using Latisse, so my opinion has not changed about it. However, with that being said, if Latisse irritates your eyes, then the eye twitch could just be a result of irritation. If there's a tiny bit of fuzz on your lash line, your lid and eye will twitch to let you know that there's an irritation there and to try to remove it. It could be the same idea with Latisse. If your lid is irritated it may simply twitch to try to remove the irritation."This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and
