Measure
Bimatoprost Mixed With Gonak Into a Gel Suspension
Each subject was given two suspensions, one of Bimatoprost mixed with Gonak into a gel suspension and one with Gonak mixed with normal saline. They were instructed to use each suspension to a pre-determined eyelash (prepared prior to study enrollment in double blind fashion and marked after randomization with right and left). The solution vials were labeled right or left eye.
