Eyelash worry

Hello everyone

I was started on Dorzolamide eye drops around 6 weeks ago. I have noticed my eyelashes seem almost stunted, and not as long as they were. Has anyone else experienced this whilst being on these drops

I am worried I am going to lose all my eyelashes. 😞

Hi there.One of my drops are the same but I have had no ill effect with lashes.....hopefully temporary for you.

I’ve been using these eye drops twice a day for about 5 years or more. My eyelashes have got longer. I also have brown rims around my top eyelid which makes it look like I have permanent eye liner which I’m quite happy about.

I've been on these and Monoprost. Both say that one of the side effects is making your eyelashes grow! Great side effect for anyone, mine have definitely got longer and fuller and at 80 I'm thrilled. Hopefully you will find this in a week or two. Good luck x

Same here, I have been on the drops for about five years and my lashes are fuller and longer. Ask your consultant on your next visit.
