   Haha I was about to say I need to try this, until I got down to the side effects – it can really change the color of your eye? Um, I think maybe they should have worked on lessening some of the side effects a little more before they released this product! Scary is right!

   ^Yes, definitely scary although I read somewhere that the side effects disappear once you stop using the drug. I’ll be trying castor oil, which is cheaper and effective.

   Having worked with the product for years when it was only in Lumigan, I would caution the use. It does have it’s side effects. If you would like to understand them better, look up Lumigan studies and you will see. It can change you iris color….it will not change back! It can cause hyperpigmentation aka dark circles under your eyes. Lumigan fought for years to become a leader in lowering pressure for glaucoma patients……people refused or would stop using it due to the side effect profile. Let’s remember, people with glaucoma have the chance of going blind if they don’t keep their eye pressure low. These same people would stop using the product due to side effects. So, if they aren’t willing to use it due to the side effects, are longer lashes worth it? I, for one, would be highly upset if my green eyes changed to brown and I couldn’t change them back! What if only one eye changes???? Nice! The product was developed for medical use, to help people with glaucoma. It’s like steroids, they were developed for medical purposes, look how out of hand they became! AND…..the side effects.
