TIME TO REALLY GET THE RED OUT PAINLESSLY...

Thanks to a poster here who recommended an eye drop product that actually works quickly and safely !

 

Tried the eye drop coupon from the ophthalmologist’s office  to get rid of the red....they don’t recommend Visine for the bad cycle from a chemical therein.

 

My eyes cleared in the time I made my bed...they had been red for soooooolong !   Product available at WalMart: Lumify.

@jlkz I learned about these drops on YouTube of all places. I picked up a bottle of it at Walmart and it works great!

My eye dr (opthalmologist/retinal specialist) had told me not to use these type of eyedrops - they constrict the blook vessels and actually will make the redness worse.

I saw that advertised on TV.

My eyes are always red from allergies.

The only eye drop I have ever used that made my eyes feel better is prescription Patanol. It's $10 with my Ins for a tiny bottle. First time I used it years ago it was $100 per bottle. They gave me a bottle free at the Minor Emergency Clinic.

Thank you for posting about this, I  need to try it. I had about given up on finding anything that worked and was resigned to looking  like I’m on a bender all the time.

Went to the article you posted.  Lumify doesn’t have the rebound redness effect.  It is a lesser dosage than a glaucoma prescription drug and does t constrict the larger veins in the eye.  It works on the much smaller ones.

 

The rest they described used drops 4X / day.  I have used one drop / day for a lasting effect.

 

The chemical in question for the redness rebounding is tetrahydrozelene.  None of that in the indredients.

 

Worth a try.
