They protect the eye from debris, and eyelashes do help to retain ocular moisture.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;...but, for this to be used to enhance length and thickness for those who already have them purely for vanity reasons, is placing oneself deliberately in the way of a rogue bus...all drugs have potential negative side effects and some have serious cautions. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Is subjecting oneself to the negative side effects really worth the risk to your eyes just for thicker longer lashes?? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;...just another ploy by BPharma to make some $$ by appealing to insecurity, &amp;amp; vanity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=130948" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Why You Should Avoid the New Eyelash Growth Drug</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2008/12/31/Why-You-Should-Avoid-the-New-Eyelash-Growth-Drug.aspx#130947</link><pubDate>Wed, 31 Dec 2008 21:21:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:130947</guid><dc:creator>Arizona</dc:creator><description>I can see why this drug is so popular.
