I've mentioned before that when topical minoxidil comes into direct contact with your eyes it can cause CRVO (Central Retinal Vein occlusion) which is a thrombosis inside your eye.

Hence why even putting minoxidil on your eyebrows is risky. The minoxidil can still run down, past your eyelashes and enter your eye.

But even if Minoxidil does not come into direct contact with the surface of the eyeball, it can still cause severe issues.
Minoxidil causes angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels). An abnormal amount of blood vessels are thus created in your eye which can trigger CRVO even if the minoxidil wasnt applied directly on the eyelids.

All this applies both to oral and topical minoxidil.

When using topical minoxidil make sure to not apply it on your eyebrows, the gains are not worth going blind.

Been doing that for a couple of weeks, you still feel a slight burn but I never felt it much, it's not even half as painful as shampoo in your eyes

this man in research was using minox twice a day straight for 3 years. I think nobody uses it for their eyebrows for such a long time
