The following side effects have been observed with the use of latanoprost:

Very common:may affect more than 1 in 10 patients

• Gradual change in eye color due to an increase in the amount of brown pigment in the colored part of the eye known as the iris. If you have mixed-colored eyes (blue-brown, gray-brown, yellow-brown, or green-brown), you are more likely to experience this change than if your eyes are a single color (blue, gray, green, or brown). The change in eye color takes years to develop, although it may be noticeable within 8 months of treatment. The change in eye color may be permanent and may be more noticeable if Xiop is used in only one eye. The change in eye color does not appear to be associated with any problems. The change in eye color does not continue once treatment with Xiop has been discontinued.
• Eye redness.
• Ocular irritation (sensation of burning, sensation of sand in the eye, itching, stinging, or sensation of a foreign body in the eye). If you experience severe ocular irritation that causes excessive tearing or makes you consider interrupting treatment, consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse as soon as possible (within a week). You may require a review of your treatment to ensure you are receiving the appropriate treatment for your condition.
