Latisse is prescription drug that was commonly used for glaucoma patients.  As this medicine was used as eyedrops directly onto the eye some of the medicine invariably touched the origins of the eyelashes. Patients using this eyedrop noted that their eyelashes were getting longer.  Some patients eyelashes were growing so long that they actually had to trim them with a scissors.  Latisse is this same medicine but it is only applied to the eyelash origin and not the eye.  Patients have been very satisfied with this procedure in fact on some consumer websites like realself.com, it has been rated as one of the top five best procedures by consumers.
