Why Do Some Say Lumigan is More Potent Than Latisse?- Both Contain 3% Bimatoprost

Catherine3184
In increase to concerns of increased brown iris pigmentation with Latisse, many of the "experts" continually state that the risk are associated with Lumigan (the glaucoma application) because it is "much more potent". That is inaccurate and misleading. They both contain 0.3% of bimatoprost. So how is it more "potent"?? What percentage of glaucoma patients experience this side effect using Lumigan directly in the eye. I have heard as few as 3% and as many as 50%
