Question:
Are there any safe and effective nonprescription eyelash growth enhancers?
Answer:
There are many eyelash enhancers on the non-prescription market. Many make claims about efficacy without trial data proof. As a consumer, you can check the internet for consumer guide reviews to determine if you would like to try a product. Latisse, a product sold by prescription or in a doctor's office, has been clinically studied and has demonstrated consistent eyelash growth. Latisse, however — as is true for other products — is not without its risks, including ocular and eyelid irritation as well as pigmentation of the skin and iris (turning a blue eye brownish). It is therefore recommended that you consult with your ophthalmologist to determine if these products are appropriate for you.
