You should not use travoprost ophthalmic if you are allergic to it. To make sure travoprost ophthalmic is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had: swelling or an infection in your eye; retinal detachment; or eye surgery or injury affecting the lens of your eye. Travoprost ophthalmic may cause a gradual change in the color of your eyes or eyelids and lashes, usually an increase in brown pigment. You may also notice increased growth or thickness of your eyelashes. These changes occur slowly and you may not notice them for months or years. Color changes may be permanent even after your treatment ends, and may occur only in the eye being treated. This could result in a cosmetic difference in eye or eyelash color from one eye to the other. It is not known whether travoprost ophthalmic will harm an unborn baby.
