A member asked:
I am curious if drops for glaucoma makes eyes darker, is there any drops that make your eyes brighter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Glaucoma drop fx: One class of glaucoma medications can result in the darkening of the iris and even pigment the skin around the eyes. Unfortunately, there is no drop that will make the eyes "brighter". Using artificial tears for dryness and keeping the eyes moist and healthy will keep them their brightest.
