Visine and latisse can both cause redness and irritation of the eyes. If the products do not bother your eyes, go ahead and use them both. However, use them at least 20 minutes apart.
There are probably no contraindications to using Visine and Latisse concurrently however most ophthalmologists would recommend against the prolonged use of any drop that "gets the red out". It is OK to use Visine artificial tears or any other brand of artificial tears. For topical medications, you may want to allow one medication to absorb for 5 to 10 minutes before instilling the second.
Visine is an eyedrop that makes your blood vessels smaller, thus causing your eyes to appear less red. Latisse can cause mild eye irritation and redness in some patients. I do not recommend using Visine long-term with or without Latisse. Over time it can cause changes in your blood vessels, that will always make your eyes seem red, even when you try to stop using Visine. Instead, I recommend using preservative-free artificial tears, with or without Latisse for eye redness and irritation. You can use those drops indefinitely and without side effects.
I see no reason these two products cannot be used together. I would recommend, however, that you abstain from Visine use 15 minutes prior to, and 15 minutes after, using Latisse.
There are no indications of using Latisse and Visine. I would suggest using the Latisse and letting it dry, which should be five minutes after application and then use Visine if needed. Most of my patients use Latisse prior to bedtime after washing their face and removing all of their makeup. Best regards and long lashes to you!
There are no contraindications to using both Visine and Latisse. To be safe, just use them at different times of the day.
Visine is now a brand name that covers a whole line of eye drops. Some "get the red out" while others are artificial tear, lubricating drops. The good news is that any of these drops is fine with Latisse. If you need to use both medications around the same time, I would use the Visine first, wait 5 minutes and then apply the Latisse. It is fine to also use the Visine at other times. Hope this is helpful.
Latisse should not make your eyelashes shorter. Latisse works by putting more lashes in the growth phase making them longer, thicker, and darker. If you feel Latisse made your eye lashes shorter, it would be very unusual and I would report it to the company. You should stop using the product....
First of all, Latisse is very effective on African Americans- I have a number of patients who love it. Some people do get hyperpigmentation of the eyelid skin along the lash line where Latisse is applied-this does not appear to be race specific. The active ingredient in Latisse...
Latisse for longer eyelashes can be used morning or evening. If you use dry eye ointment at night, try using Latisse in the morning.
