("Less common is eyelid discoloration, which Allergan, the manufacturer,
says “may be reversible.” A rare side effect that has captured the most
attention is the chance that one’s hazel or blue eyes could turn brown —
forever.")

My comment:
(a)
(i) The Web site of Latisse:

http://www.latisse.com/

Under the button "About Safety": "LATISSE® solution may cause other
less common side effects which typically occur on the skin close to where
LATISSE® is applied, or in the eyes. These include skin darkening, eye
irritation, dryness of the eyes, and redness of the eyelids."

(ii) Bimatoprost

(sold in the U.S., Canada and Europe by Allergan, under the trade name
Lumigan to treat glaucoma 青光眼 but the cosmetic formulation is sold as
Latisse to grow eyelashes; a prostaglandin analog)

Lumigan

(b) Eye color

(section 4.6: Hazel)

(c) Read the first nine (9) paragraphs and the last five (5) paragraphs of
the NYT report--and it is enough.
