Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear contact lenses while using latanoprost?
It's best if you take your contact lenses out before applying latanoprost and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in.
Do I have to store latanoprost in the fridge?
Only the unopened bottles need to be stored in the fridge. Once you've opened a bottle, you can keep it at room temperature for up to 6 weeks.
Do I have to use latanoprost forever?
Most likely, yes. Glaucoma and ocular hypertension are chronic conditions, and latanoprost helps manage the symptoms but does not cure the disease.
My eye color seems to be getting darker. Should I stop taking latanoprost?
Latanoprost can cause a change in the color of your iris, eyelid, or eyelashes. This is usually gradual and may not be noticeable for months or years. If you notice a change, you should discuss this with your eye doctor ? but don't stop this drug suddenly without discussing this therapy change with your healthcare provider first.
What if I forget to take latanoprost for a day?
If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember unless it's almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Double dosing can lead to overdosing.
