Pros ...my lashes are already longer ....in only 2 weeks !! I have always hated my short stubby lashes and do not want to stop treatment ...is there another time of day or way to apply that would help ? I am now applying with a soft liner brush to the lash line in the evening after I have washed and moisturized my face. I am only using one drop for both eyes.
Cons ..my eyes are killing me :) Within minutes my eyes are very bloodshot and burning and in the morning when I wake up they are very bloodshot. The visine helps for a little while but then the bloodshot eyes return.

The redness and other side effects are supposed to lessen in a few weeks. Make sure you're applying it properly; here are some tips you might find helpful: Should Latisse cause bloodshot eyes and irritation?

I had the same problem, but was determined to keep using it. First, I'd advise not using Visine, you'll just get the rebound effect, making your eyes even more bloodshot.
Lose the included brushes; they apply too much product, and it inevitably runs into your eyes. Get a very thin eyeliner brush and carefully apply the product along the lash line, just enough so it is slightly damp.
Also, take a day or two off, then resume daily application. You could probably even use it every other day and still get results, if necessary.
Finally, your eyes will adjust to the product after some time and not become so red.
There's a slight possibility you could be having an allergic reaction to the product or some preservative in the product, in which case you shouldn't use it. So if after following these tips for a few weeks, you still don't see improvement, you probably shouldn't use it.

Thanks so much ...I am doing all of the above ..using a liner brush dipped in one drop of fluid in the cap but I will go a little lighter on the application and see what happens.
I am so determined to get lashes :)
I did not realize that Visine can cause a rebound effect ? I just can't stand the look of bloodshot eyes ! Thanks for all of your great suggestions ...hoping I can put up a pic of long lush lashes in a few months !
Have a wonderful weekend !

Yes, Visine definitely will make your eyes redder, when it wears off. But keeping your eyes moist with just plain eyedrops (those marketed as just for adding moisture rather than reducing redness) or even just saline solution can help with redness.
I noticed with the Latisse redness, too, that it was quite pronounced in the morning, but lessened considerably after a few hours.
Good luck!

I have to tell you it gets better every day , could be that my eyes just needed to adjust to it. I am so glad that I didn't give up ! Betsy I think if you try using less and being very careful not to get it into your eyes you will love the results ! Kat :)
