From the NYTimes:
A former primary care doctor runs www.latisse.bz, which boasts that it is the “largest Latisse retailer.” All it takes to get Latisse mailed out — without ever seeing him — is filling out a medical history, which he reviews, and typing in a valid credit card number.
But if people use Latisse without seeing a doctor, the side effects may come as a big surprise.
Eyelid discoloration “may be reversible” according to the manufacturer. A rare side effect that has captured the most attention is the chance that one’s hazel or blue eyes could turn brown — forever.
