Travatan Z Drops

I was diagnosed with Neovascular Glaucoma in my right eye in June 2016.  I had surgery and a stent was placed in my right eye.  I have been taking Travatan Z drops from June until yesterday (10/13/16).      I had an appointment with my eye doctor yesterday and he told me to stop taking the Travatan drops.

I have noticed eyelash growth.   I have discovered this is a side effect of the drops.  Most of what I read says once the drops are discontinued, the eyelash growth is reversible.  What does that mean?  How is it reversible?

It means once you stop the Travatan-Z the eyelashes will return over many months to their smaller normal size. One of the drops in this family of glaucoma medicines (Lumigan) is sold in a different form (Latisse) by plastic surgeons and dermatologists for eye lash growth.
