Could Minoxidil Change My Eye Color?

Hello Dear Doc

For hair loss i am using minoxidil 5% solution on my scalp and my eyes burn. Eye burning and irritation is known side effect of minoxidil and i wonder if it might change eye color?

There is a medicine named larissa which may change iris color used for eye lashes.

Thanks for your support.

I am not familiar with Larissa, but perhaps you mean Latisse (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution), which has rare reports of permanent eye color changes in people with blue/green eyes. Latisse is used to grow eyelashes and it is presently being tested to grow hair.

There are no reports with minoxidil changing eye color, but if you’re experiencing burning eyes after using it on your scalp (a common side effect), you should consider discontinuing use if it becomes too bothersome.
