For increasing lash volume and length, a prescription eye medication called generic Latisse is used. It was created by Allergan to treat glaucoma and goes by the name Lumigan. Later, the FDA certified it for use as an eyelash serum. The effectiveness of Latisse as an eyelash-expansion serum has been shown by clinical investigations carried out all over the world. Studies have shown long-lasting results with 78% improvement rates and no negative effects. Latisse generic is only available via prescription.
