Key points

  • Eye-pressure drops increase fluid outflow from the eye, lowering pressure inside it.
  • Application site matters: Bimat and Latisse contain bimatoprost alone but have different purposes and instructions.
  • Pigmentation changes can occur, including darker eyelid skin and a permanent increase in brown iris colour.

What Bimatoprost is used for

Bimatoprost eye preparations are listed for Open-angle Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension. A separately applied solution at the upper eyelid margin is used for reduced eyelash growth. Unwanted hair growth can occur where topical solution repeatedly touches the skin.
