I can get latisse, the medical eye drop version (bimatoprost) prescribed because I have glaucoma. Should I do it?
However actually my lashes are technically slightly enhanced because I’ve been using latanoprost (a weaker version of latisse) in just my right eye, though just put it in the eye, not applied to eyelashes, any growth was from excessive eye drops dripping out the eye. I did this for 8 years. I don’t really use it anymore but the gains are still there
From Google Gemini:
Bimatoprost appears to be more effective than latanoprost for promoting eyelash growth. Studies have shown that bimatoprost leads to greater eyelash growth and hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth) compared to latanoprost. While both are prostaglandin analogs that can cause eyelash growth as a side effect, bimatoprost may offer a more pronounced and potentially faster response.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Bimatoprost:
Bimatoprost is more commonly associated with eyelash growth, with studies showing it leads to greater lash growth and hypertrichosis. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH)(Noecker et al.), a 6-month clinical trial noted eyelash growth in 14 of 133 patients in the bimatoprost group, while no patients in the latanoprost group showed this effect.
- Latanoprost:
While latanoprost can also cause eyelash growth, it's generally less pronounced than with bimatoprost. Some studies suggest similar efficacy between the two drugs, but others indicate a slight advantage for bimatoprost.
- Study Findings:
A 3-month bimatoprost vs. latanoprost trial reported that eyelash growth was more common in the bimatoprost group (13% vs. 4%).
