My eye doctor told me that out of his 400 glaucoma patients, only about 7 have eyelash regrowth from this medicine. I begged him for it anyway. Stress is blamed on my loss. He wouldn\'t give it to me because I have regrowth coming in (although I am still losing and have bald patches). He did tell me that eyelashes are extremely slow growing and if in 3 months I still am not happy with the regrowth, he will prescribe medication. He said a side effect I will not be happy with is the dark circles it can cause under your eyes, which is permanent! This is very depressing, in the summer I loved to go with no eye make up. Well now I have to fill in the gaps with pencil :( Mascara? Forget it. I would only draw attention to all the bald gaps :( All doctors said it is stress :( Which, btw, I was under a tremedous amount for a period of 3 months. From what I understand, hair loss can occur well after the stress has subsided. Strange thing though is the only hair loss I have, is my eyelashes!
