I've been using Xalatan, along with other medications, for about
five years and my eyelashes, particularly the upper ones, have
become elongated.  This has not caused any problems until
recently.  I now find that the temporal side of one upper eye lid
has a feeling of modest discomfort upon opening; kind of like the
lids are very slightly glued together.  I can get rid of this
feeling temporarily by brushing the lashes lightly with a tissue,
but that only lasts for a few minutes.

My questions are:  Can I have my upper eyelashes cut shorter? Who
would do this?  Are there any side effects?  I don't  like to
have them pulled.  That HURTS.


Thanks,
John
