Primary Outcome Measures:
  • eyelash length [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    eyelash ruler used to measure eyelash length


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • eyelash pigment [ Time Frame: 6 mos ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    blinded grader used digital photos to grade degree of pigment on scale of 1-5

  • eyelash thickness [ Time Frame: 6 mos ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    blinded grader used digital photos to grade degree of thickness on scale of 1-5

  • eyelash amount [ Time Frame: 6 mos ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    blinded grader used digital photos to grade degree of amount by counting lashes

  • eyelash side effects [ Time Frame: 6 mos ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    any side effects (irritation, allergy, iop change, visual acuity, macular edema, uveitis, iris color change, etc... were assessed
