Frequently asked questions about Latanoprost
Q. Can I use contact lenses while using Latofix Eye Drop?
Yes, you can use contact lenses while using Latofix Eye Drop. However, remove your contact lenses before instilling Latofix Eye Drop. You can re-insert the lenses 15 minutes after instilling Latofix Eye Drop. Contact your doctor if eye irritation occurs and persists.
Q. Can Latofix Eye Drop cause a change in eye color?
Yes, continued use of Latofix Eye Drop may cause a change in the color of the iris, particularly brown pigmentation. This color change is more common in people who have mixed color eyes (blue-brown, grey-brown, yellow-brown or green-brown). The change may be more noticeable if it is used in only one eye. This change in color is likely to be permanent. Additionally, the eyelashes may also become denser and the color of the eyelids may darken. However, this is usually temporary and reverts to normal once the use of Latofix Eye Drop is discontinued.
Q. Can I use other eye drops along with Latofix Eye Drop?
If you have to use other eye drops, wait for at least 5 minutes before using them. You should inform your doctor about any other medicine which you are using since it may interfere with the working of Latofix Eye Drop.
