I live in Canada and have extended health insurance through work. Now i know that insurance doesn't cover medication for cosmetic purposes but will it cover for Latisse or Lumigan (after all, this is a medication for glaucoma). Also what is the difference between latisse and lumigan?

The difference is pretty much how its packaged/intended. Its the same drug.

Latisse is intended for cosmetic purposes not the treatment of glaucoma.

Lumigan would be covered rx if you have glaucoma.

Big price difference if you buy the generic Lumigan

I'll have to remember to ask my ophthalmologist for his opinion.

Latisse is not intended for glaucoma. If you get a script for glaucoma purpose you will get the benefit of the eyelashes.. (My aunt has fab eyelashes - we tease her).....
