Beware of Latisse - it's evil!

It's 2 years since I used Latisse for 6 weeks and got dark grey eyes. The Latisse company really needs to put in it's warnings that it can either darken to brown/black or a dark grey. If it mean ruined the darkening from light to grey and not just brown then I would never had used it. It alludes to brown shades or hazel shades being most at risk when it is in fact light blue green eyes that are most at risk of darkening to a grey.

Hi Blossoms
I too used Latisse and got periorbital fat loss but stopped the Latisse a while ago now. I was born with blue eyes and I totally understand how you feel. If my blue eye colour changed, I would be devastated because that is what I have seen in my reflection since I was born. I would not feel like myself if my eyes changed colour. I have nothing against any other eye colour I am just used to my own eye colour as is Blossom. What makes me angry is the manufacturers of Latisse have totally downplayed the risk of eye colour change. I would never try this product again. Blossom, you are very beautiful even now but I get what you are trying to convey and it certainly is not prejudice against other eye colours. Hope you can find some peace.

You haven't read the whole review she is devastated and depressed because her eyes darkened. She keeps referring to dark eyes as ugly. Please read the review. I think this may be a person who has racial issues. I really want to stop seeing this post in my feed I'm really offended being a person of a certain ethnicity. How can I get this to stop comming on my feed and blocking it.

Hi Swn21,
I know many people who would not choose to change their eye color because they're happy with the way their eyes look now. It's not fair to accuse someone of being "racist" simply because they like having a light eye color and don't want to change it. Â

I really don't like being accused of bullying because I see it differently then she might. So by telling her that her eye color she has is nice and people are going blind to get her color through a laser is bullying ? I think I'm the one being bullied to honest . I really enjoy this sight and all the info on it but where have I used " foul language and insults " ?

Your really reaching with your accusations. Looking like another species and having a shade darker of an eye color are two different things gs and the right side if my face was numb and unable to move for a week. I thought I had nerve damage so accusing me of mocking stroke victims your really digging. I see things differently is all. I tried to make positive suggestions to the op but nothing penetrates. If se feels her life is so bad she needs therapy over eye color life must be grand. My son was just diagnosed with a cyst on his brain, and I was bullied my while life for lookin like a gorilla so life could be alot worse

By the way if you read the entire post and my replies with hey we're encouraging. I gave suggestions on trying contact lenses and different make up hair color. I guess you didn't see that though. So I should encourage her to wallow in self pity or try a laser that can cause blindness ? I told her to embrace her new color as I don't see it as life shattering. I've seen people on here that are botched and disfigured from surgery, my heart goes out to them. So by saying it's not that bad is bullying ? I know it's her color but in the grand scheme of things is eye color changing a 1/2 a shade going to negatively impact your life ? So I will leave this site and th e rest of you can give encourage self pity instead of giving productive suggestions to her situation.

dude. my eye shape changed because of Latisse and I’m pissed. it’s a change from natural beauty to something it’s not supposed to be. stop projecting your insecurities
October 17, 2015
I don't understand why people think this is so trivial- since childhood you learn to see yourself a certain way; my eyes are brown and I am very pale with dark brows and lashes but blond hair many people think this looks weird - like it doesn't match but when I look in the mirror I expect to see brown eyes- I like all color of eyes on other people but I would be devasted if I woke up one day and my eyes were a different color it part of my identity and my family and sibling have brown eyes -I actually saw the same thing happen to a nurse at my dermatologists office after she used Latisse for a few weeks eye color change, redness, purple discoloration on lids, and eye color change. By the way I think your eye color is beautiful but it only matters that you think that too. I think the contact lense idea might be a good thing to try if it improves your self esteem.

Dear Blossoms, I understand your problem and your uneasiness with the change this whole incidence has caused you but i can't help but notice , do you see a pattern here? You were not satisfied with your lips and skin and lashes and other things so you kept fretting over them and kept looking for ways to have what you want and not accept what you already have, while now you know what you had was already good and you kept on trying to change it. This is what is happening again, you now have something different than what you would like and you are fretting over to get it. There is nothing wrong with yoy but you need to see that this pattern repeats. You still have beautiful eyes and color, a lot of people want that eye color, genetically you have genes that have codes to your original color that you will pass down(not that it is important but for your satisfaction ) problem does not lie with the look that you hve but with the perception that you hold that you need to be certain way which i assume doesn't let you rest. I feel you are very tensed about it. You are beautiful which ever eye color you have, by waiting to see if your color changes you are hurting yourself, let it go if it will change , it will change anyway your thinking about it will not make any difference , just let it be the way it is now and do not try anything else. See and find out that all you have is perfect already and you are not your eyes or skin or color. You are worried that you will get different response from people than you used to get with blue eyes, if your eye color matters to someone to give love and respect to you they are not worth your time. I couldn't help but see you in pain and my empathy for you made me write this long comment, I mean only to help, i hope you find peace. May god bless you!

This is permanent
BlossomsApril 3, 2015
These pics are taken one year and four months apart. I kept living in hope that they may gradual lighten back to light blue green. I've been told by Ophthalmologists that it's permanent.

You poor thing, this must be so upsetting for you! My eyes are the same colour as yours are now, the grey slate colour, so i know no different. In times like this, i try to remember things that i'm lucky for. You still have your sight, and that is the most important thing of all. Keep your chin up :)
April 14, 2015
Your eyes are beautiful; even though they're not the color they where when you started! I would love to have grey eyes! Since this has upset you to the point you're seeking counseling, perhaps you could consider colored contacts that are a match to what your eye color was before Latisse. They do make some beautiful colors :). Whatever you decide to do, please realize that you are beautiful and your current eye color is beautiful (and wonderfully unique)!
April 14, 2015
I wear the Fresh Look Colors opaque contacts...it will definitely give you back your eye color if only during the day. Just do not sleep in them as I did for years & now have dilated blood vessels that are really only noticeable to me. Go to your opthamologist & they should have samples for you to try. I think wearing these contacts will help you thru this...I know how bad you feel and am so sorry.
April 24, 2015
Yes, I have heard that it IS permanent. I still think your eye color is beautiful, but I can understand its upsetting to you. I also heard its pretty rare for it to do this and happens when its actually applied IN the eye or gets in the eye by accident. Is this what happened to you? I already have brown eyes so I do not have to worry about this but I feel for you.
July 19, 2015
Thank you for posting this review. You are very brave and no matter your eye color, you'll always be beautiful. I hope you are feeling better now. Please know that byou coming forward, you have helped countless others.
August 24, 2015
i hope you can find some self acceptance with your new eye color. I realize it may not be what you wanted but i think your eyes are still quite lovely. thank you for writing this review, i was considering using this product but have now changed my mind.

It's almost 12 months since I stopped using latisse. I think the colour has progressively gotten darker. The pigment must also be continuing to react to light

Your eye color is exactly the same. There is no change- at least the photos show no change. I believe this may be in your head and I am trying to encourage you that you still do have very green eyes. They are not grey at all.
October 3, 2014
I think you may need to calibrate the colors on your monitor. The change is very obvious on all three of my devices. Suggesting to Blossoms that it is "all in her head" is not helpful, nor is your assumption that you are right, she is wrong. The color change in her eyes has obviously been traumatic for her, as it would be for most anyone, and lumigan is known to cause exactly what she describes and her pictures document.
October 3, 2014
First of all, all the photos have different lighting which means the color is most certainly going to look different. My eyes are clear, light blue in the sun and a dark grey when indoors. That's the nature of eye color. Also, check out after photos #6 and #11 and tell me that they are different from her original color, they aren't. I can see that she is terribly troubled, but as far as what her photos reveal when they are in similar lighting, she still has green eyes and her color has not changed. That is my honest interpretation.
October 3, 2014
Then there are photos posted of her having no eyelid crease (because her eye is to the side and totally open and the next photo, an after, shows a perfect crease. Either she is deliberately trying to mislead and scare people or she is not seeing what is truly there. Look at the #11 photo- a beautiful, perfect green color- the same as before. It also looks like the lighting in the photos has being purposely changed in many of these photos.
October 4, 2014
I wish it was in my head!!! They were a bright light aqua blue. There was no dark gee. Or dark grey. Sorry but this is for real. They are the best photos I have. I would not waste my time on my campaign go help others not make the same mistake
October 4, 2014
Thank you for your support. Again, I can only say that, I really wish this was all just in my head.
October 4, 2014
catgirl, once again, either your monitors are either off or you have some baffling agenda to try to invalidate blossom's experience and situation. The pictures you cite, 6 & 11 are strikingly different on my screens than her blue/green "before" pictures. The color change from a bright blue green to a muddier grayed green/brown is evident and textbook for the known bimatoprost side effect. Her after pictures look exactly like the ones in the medical literature that illustrate possible complications. But regardless, why on earth would you declare her report and experience false, "all in her head," and speculate that she may be trying to deliberately mislead? Assuming you "know" more about her eyes than she does, and flat-out stating she is wrong and "there is no change" is arrogant at best, mean-spirited at worst. Reasonable people posting and viewing photos on this site recognize that there will be variation of quality, consistency, angles, camera, lighting, and viewing screens that may affect clarity and accuracy. Blossoms deserves appreciation for sharing her traumatic experience in an effort to increase awareness of potential complications so those evaluating the product can compile ALL reports, good and bad, scary and glowing, and make their own, informed decision.

Catgirl, my eyes used to be aqua blue and they changed to a dark green, grey color
February 25, 2015
catgirlxo, you're a great example as to why many people probably do not post reviews. If you cannot be helpful or offer support, why post? She is trying to show others what can happen when you use Latisse, and she is very upset - the last thing she needs or deserves is to be picked apart by fellow members.
February 25, 2015
renovation project no one is being mean spririted. I and a couple of others are not seeing the dramatic eye color change she is. She does state several times in the post that her light blue eyes were " good" before and now they are " dark , dull and ugly". There are alot of gorgeous people ( miss universe from Colombia) who have almost black eyes. In my opinion her eyes are a beautiful shade before and after. The procedures she's interested in that are in Spain " new eyes laser " to " depigment the eyes " are for people with high concentrations of melanin brown or black eyes. Grey eyes are still light eyes as this is usually the goal color with the laser from Spain. So she might wind up with too much de-pigmentation and have vision problems like albinos have. There is also " BrightOcular" Iris implants which I know some one with black eyes who wanted grey. The implants had to be removed and they now have glaucoma, vision problems and have to wear glasses.

Your eyes honestly look the same to me given the multiple lighting conditions you present. Give us a before and after picture (taken with a nice camera, not a cellphone please), in identical lighting so we can see these changes.
Until then, I choose to believe you are a.) fear-mongering or b.) experiencing negative placebo effects.
November 9, 2014
I really wish what you were saying was true! I am
Not able to get a new before picture because they are now a completely different colour!!! It is a listed as a side effect. - permanent iris darkening.
December 19, 2014
I can see the difference. I feel very sorry for you and will add you to my prayer list.
I o did something I wish I hadn't when I purchased a laser from China for photofacials. It damaged my hair follicles and my eyebrows and hair are falling out and it is very painful. It also singed my lashes and some fell out. The others are short. My hair, lashes, and brows were perfect before.
Thanks to you, I will not try Latisse to try to grow my lashes or brows back. I have done enough damage to myself.
Thanks again for your post and I hope and pray things will get better.
I don't think it is that anything is bad about grey eyes or that any color is superior or inferior, just that your eyes can change color in general. Â
