Lumigan and latisse are the same chemical (bimatoprost). Latisse is suppose to be brushed into the lashes rather than put directly on the eye.
All the medications in this group of glacoma medications stimulate eyelash growth: latanoprost (Xalatan brand name), Travatan-Z, Lumigan and Zioptan.
there is a very fine hair that grows from the corner of my eye, i pull it out when it gets long enough to irritate but it returns. its not an eyelash, its not from my eylid at all its from the pink fleshy area in the corner of my eye. Everyone i talk to about this says it is not possible but i know it is. what in world is this?
I have pseudo-exfoliation in left eye. Started out on xalatan, then switched over to Lumigan when I was Glaucoma Suspect with ocular pressure 21-30. Under control low 20's on Lumigan, optic nerve healthy, no visual fields defects on test 5 months ago. However, last visit hemorrhage on optic nerve found and added Alpgagan P to Lumigan, did not do a thing after 6 weeks, pressure 24 today. Dr.
I have taken Lumigan for open Angle Glaucoma for a couple of years in one eye only. In April the ophthalmologist asked me to put them in both eyes. I have no problems with that and my IOP is well controlled. However, I noticed my PVC's have gone up considerably since taken the drops. At first with only one eye I had about 15,000 per day, now with drops in both eyes they have gone up to almost 30,000 per day. There where no other medication changes during that time.
( with out prescription.
hi am a trich sufferer. can i use normal lumigan eyedrops on my eyebrows,scalp and eyelashes? i dont have access to latisse.or is there any other medication that grows hair fast? can i use folligen? what are the adverse effects of using lumigan on eyes and eyebrows?
is there any other test besides that which indicates vision loss?i take lumigan once a night. for the past three years or so. I have only missed three times and let me tell youi remember those times how nice my eyes felt without the drops. no scratchy feeling, no tearing and especially very little red in my eyes. i almost felt that i looked normal. no one looking at my bloodshot eyes and commenting.
While I think I can provide some useful advice, there is obviously no cure for your problem and no easy answers. First the use of Lumigan. I really dislike Lumigan and try and never use it in my practice. It is notorious for causing red, irritated, inflammed eyes, permanent dark circles around the eyes and atrophy of the fat in the sockets causing sunk in looking eyes and droopy eye lids.
I needed an updated Rx for my glaucoma eyedrops and he switched me from the brand name Lumigan to the generic latanoprost as I had hoped! He mentioned it might help reduce the eye redness that Lumigan can cause. Hopefully it will maintain a similar IOP in my right eye - it was measured as 16 yesterday.
The retinal specialist gave 2 very strong drops to reduce the IOP. Subsequent to using the drops he went for a check for IOP and it was 15. Three weeks after continuously using the drops on his next checkup the IOP was back at 27.
The retinal specialist seemed to be a loss. He is now recommending a glaucoma specialist. We are not sure what to do.
Azopt rare makes eyes red, lumigan is a failrly common cause of chronic red eyes. You might discuss stopping the lumigan for a week or two to see if that helps. If it does Travatan-Z is gentler on the eye and often better at lower IOP, also there is a new preservative free prostaglandin glaucoma eyedrop Zioptrin which might be helpful. I have a very large glaucoma practice and when patients have chronic red eyes and they are on alphagan P or Lumigan I suspect them as the cause first thing.
Yes, there are ophtalmologists who specialize in glaucoma. You might either ask your regular ophthalmologist for a reference or find a glaucoma specialist at www.aao.org.
ve tried prednisolone eye drops for one week - but had to stop becuae they irritated my eyes, i am now on FML eyedrops - have been using them for 15 days, no improvement in eye condition and no halt of eyelash loss. fml is really irritating my eyes - i may stop these aswell because my eyes feel unbearable.
please help me - what can i do to stop this inflammation that is causing the eyelash loss?
My mother age is 55yrs and she is diabetic patient from last 15+ yrs.Currently she is taking drops for Glaucoma.But her pressure is around 22 & 26 right and left eye resp. Her diabetes is also about 225 post meal. My concern is, is it safe to go for the surgery. Dr.said its not going to be laser, they'll do surgery and put a filter to drain out the fluid it will take around 2-3 hrs for operation.
The makers of Lumigan recently started to market the very same drops under the name Latisse for eyelash growth. I understand that they also looked into using it as a treatment for baldness but its too expensive to cover a large area like the scalp.
I am very disappointed at postings that indicate people feel their surgeons are pressuring them to upgrade to a multifocal IOL.
I just had an eyelash fall into my eye, so I grabbed my mirror and started using my bottom eyelid to work the eyelash towards my tear duct for removal. As I was doing this I saw the lash get caught UNDER my tear duct and completely disappear from view! I know for a fact it did not "come out by itself" without me noticing. I was staring directly into the mirror when it happened.
December 26, 2009 I went to a hair salon and got fake eyelashes on top of my real ones. My real eyelashes were already long and full. But I wanted to get fake ones for a wedding that I was going to attend that day. I was told by the lady that placed the eyelashes not to rub on my eyes or to wash the area because they would come off right away. She told me they were suppose to last 20 days, because she did them one by one.
After a few days, they completely went away. But awhile ago I got an eyelash in my eye, in the same area the veins were in. I used the tip of my finger to get the eyelash out, and then a short while later the red veins popped up again. They feel sore and when I tried using eye drops, it burned, so I stopped. Will they go away? Should I use eye drops, or just leave it alone until it fades on it own? Does anyone have any idea why these veins popped up?
I have been using eyelash curlers for quite some time, and never before have I had any problems. Recently, I have noticed that my corner lashes are much shorter than those in the middle. If the curlers are causing my eyelashes to shorten, how come they haven't affected the lashes in the centre of my eyelid? If you suspect that my eyelash curlers aren't the source of the problem, will you please suggest what could be?
