I have cataracts - I have been using latisse for the past 4 years, on/off. once or twice a week.

Thank you for your question azitabanana. Latisse is a product used to make lashes longer, thicker, and fuller. To my knowledge Latisse does not cause cataracts. Please consult with an ophthalmologist for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Cataracts are not caused by the use of Latisse.Latisse is applied to the eyelash margin in order to help grow fuller, darker,longer lashes. Side effects of Latisse can be redness, itching, swelling, orhyper pigmentation to the iris or eye lid itself, in the event the medicationis applied to the skin/directly into the eye. Cataracts are unrelated and causedby the aging process.  In thiscondition,  the lens of the eye becomescloudy. Risk factors for developing this cataracts are age, genetics, diabetesmellitus, and repeated exposure to ultraviolet light without eye protection.
