Can blurry vision be a side effect from Latisse?

Question

The first bottle that I used, I experienced blurry vision. I stayed consistent and used the entire bottle. A few months went by and my vision improved. I bought a second bottle and have used it now for three weeks. The blurry vision is happening again. I will of course discontinue use but I wanted to know if this is common.

So, the short answer is that blurry vision is a very usual side effect to have with Latisse.  The first lecture in pharmacology class in med school they tell you that any medication can cause any side effects--so it is a possibility.  I would look into your baseline intra ocular pressure or IOP.  Latisse was originally designed as a glaucoma medication so it lowers eye ball pressure  (IOP.)  Too high or too low IOP can cause blurry vision and you may just have naturally low IOP.  Low IOP is not a problem by itself but it would be wise to get it checked so you know.  
Hope this is helpful,
