"After using Lumify, I noticed a dramatic increase in floaters, my vision wasn’t as clear, and I had a headache. I am certain the symptoms occurred as a direct result of using these eye drops. Unacceptable."

"Each time I use my expensive little Lumify eyedrops, I experience itchy eyes. At first, they look amazing. Each time I use them (sparingly), the clear white eyes last fewer and fewer hours, to now minutes. Then the itching and redness begins. Too good to be true in my case. Definitely will not use again. So bummed."

"I heard about how white they make your eyes, and I used to use Visine when my eyes got red, so I thought how great it would be. They made my eyes extremely sensitive to light that it almost hurt. So the second time I used them was on a day that I knew I wouldn't be driving. The same thing happened, and even wearing dark sunglasses didn't help. I wish that I had kept the receipt and that I had bought the smaller bottle. I really wanted to like Lumify, but would not recommend them to anybody."

"I listed Lumify on drugs used when I went to the eye specialist. She asked who told me to use Lumify, and I said I read about them and went immediately and bought them. She said she couldn't believe these had made it to market because one of the ingredients is used for glaucoma. Told me to stop taking immediately!"

"While Lumify cleared the redness from my allergy-laden eyes, I have since experienced blurred vision. My vision prior to using Lumify was 20/15. Now it's 20/80. I visited my ophthalmologist almost two weeks ago to be treated for the blurred vision and am now on steroid eye drops. The condition hasn't much improved. Please carefully read the side effects before using this product."

"I have brown eyes, so I was enticed from the commercial anyways. I bought this product, Lumify, a year ago, and my vision has never been the same. Ever. Prior to that, I had my eyes checked. I went back to the ophthalmologist for a recheck and had to get a different script for reading glasses, as well as driving. Two pairs! I am 45 years old and feel like I have 80-year-old eyes. I would never recommend this. Ever. I will look into LASIK surgery, although I am sure it's quite expensive but hopefully worth it."

"I just used it for the first time this morning, and immediately my eyes started watering and burning. I felt like someone had thrown sand in my eyes, and my nose is itchy. Although it made my eyes completely white, I will not be using it again. I purchased it at Costco, so thank goodness I can get my money back. I will be letting my eye doctor know, as they recommended this product. Still waiting to put my contacts in."

"I've been using these drops for over a month. I have light blue eyes that are always red. At first, I loved how white it made my eyes. The only thing I noticed was watery, sticky eyes for hours after. The past 2 weeks, I've had itchy, worse, watery, sticky eyes and headaches every day. This prompted me to read the reviews. Wasn't shocked to hear most people had the same. The fact that it affects many people the same way or worse is enough proof that this product should be removed from sale."

"I had a little redness in my eye on Sunday, woke up Monday, my entire whites in my right eye was dark red all over. Immediately went to the eye doctor and was told that I had a hemorrhage in my eye, blood vessel burst. I had only used Lumify a couple of times, and I used it on Sunday."

"First time I used Lumify (OTC, not prescription), I got a mild headache. Tried again a couple of days later, worse headache, feeling a bit bad. Mouth dry as a desert. Third time, my sinuses became so inflamed it made my teeth hurt! I felt like I had the flu. Terrible headache that wouldn't go away even with Aleve. Sore throat, sinus pain, pressure, drainage, lacrimal ducts swollen. I just recently got over COVID, and I felt exponentially worse from using Lumify. Why would the FDA approve this? Are they taking bribes or something?"

"Same effect as Visine, but one major difference. I normally use Visine. I put Visine in one eye and Lumify in the other for comparison. No difference noticed. Both took redness out and moisturized, with Visine giving slightly better moisture. So, I went on vacation and packed both Visine and Lumify. One morning I used Lumify, and then later before dinner I used Visine. Major mistake! The interaction caused major redness, even though it was 10 hours between applications. The redness will not subside until at least 8 hours later. So, warning: stick with one. I will stick with Original Visine. Great results and price."

"Not worth the feeling like your life is over. My side effects were being light-headed, seeing black and white, and chest fullness. No white eye is worth that terrible feeling like someone slipped you a mickey. Dangerous in my opinion."

"I have been using this product for 3 years with no issues. Love it. Works as described. I have no idea where all the negative reviews are coming from, probably Visine and Clear Eyes employees (seriously.) Zero side effects ever."

"After using 2 times, I cannot wear my contacts due to blurry vision. It's been 4 days since I used Lumify, and I still cannot wear my contacts. Never again! It really does whiten, but it is not worth the aftereffects. My eyes are redder than ever."

"My optometrist recommended this product when it first came out because I’ve always battled red, irritated eyes. Used it for many months, but last fall, I woke up with a subconjunctival hemorrhage in my right eye. Horrendous — the entire eye was bloody. I did not think it was from Lumify since my doctor recommended it. Then I developed another subconjunctival hemorrhage in the same eye in February and again in April and May. It was so bad that I called out of work because I was embarrassed to be seen. The ophthalmologist told me to stop wearing my contacts and to use eye lubricant multiple times daily. A month later, I developed yet another subconjunctival hemorrhage. My ophthalmologist sent me to my PCP to get blood work to rule out blood clotting disorders and cancer. At the same time, I stopped using Lumify because I read a few reviews here and saw people had gotten subconjunctival hemorrhages. My blood work was perfect. I haven’t had an eye hemorrhage since stopping Lumify. DON’T USE LUMIFY!"

"The drops worked very well! I only used 1 drop in each eye and got instant results. The only problem I had with the purchase is the cost, sure, the drops work, but no one wants to pay almost $20 for a very small bottle! I think the maker is ripping people off with the price. So I went back to my 'Clear Eyes' eye drop. It works just as well and costs much less."

"I used Lumify one time and could not believe the pain it caused. My eyes burned and watered all night and were swollen the next morning. I flushed them with saline, but it took another day to be able to even open my eyes. When you read the Lumify website, most of the reviews glorify the product and say how well it worked for them. I have to believe they were fake reviews. I feel the FDA needs to get involved here."

"I bought Lumify yesterday and used the product this morning. This product worked well the first five hours. After the fifth hour, my eyes were bloodshot again. There was no irritation, it caused my head to ache a little. So it really did not work the full eight hours."

"I tried Lumify about a year ago, and upon using, I started having floaters, which I had never had before. Had to go to the eye doctor because I had no idea what was happening. The only thing I was doing different was the Lumify, I told her. She said she didn't think that would cause floaters, and it is something common that happens as we age. The doctor gave me some steroid eye drops, and eventually, the floaters went away. I also quit using the Lumify after the appointment. I recently thought I would give Lumify one more try. Maybe the eye doctor was right that it was just a coincidence that I got floaters when I started using Lumify. Shortly after trying again, after about a year, I experienced worse floaters than what I had a year ago and really blurry, washed-out vision. It has to be the Lumify because it only happened once I started using it. I hope this will go away like it did the first time upon discontinuing use."

"Please do yourself and your eyes a favor and do not buy this product. At first, the product works great. One drop in each eye in the morning and your eyes look bright all day. However, after a couple of months of use, I woke up one morning with beet-red eyes. Not only were they red, they were very irritated. I thought I had conjunctivitis. After a trip to the doctor, it was determined that the eye drops caused my eyes to become red and painful. I had to use cold compresses on my eyes to soothe them. It took almost a week for the red to go away. Very embarrassing when your co-workers and clients are asking why my eyes are so red. I can't believe this product is still on the market. Stay away!!"

"I used Lumify for one week, and on Sunday I noticed my eye was bloodshot red and very painful, especially when bright lights and air hit it. It is now Tuesday, and my eye is still bloodshot red, but the pain is decreasing. The crazy part is that this only happened to one of my eyes. I don’t recommend this product to anyone, please remove it from the shelf. Thanks."

"After using Lumify for 1-2 months for red eyes due to allergies-just one drop per day, I experienced a subconjunctival hemorrhage, which is a frightening-looking broken blood vessel in your eye. I also had several headaches and took Advil-but did not attribute it to the drops until I read some of the posts. I threw the Lumify away, never to use again."

"I used Naphcon A religiously for years, and I remember my eye doctor gave me a sample of these drops a year or two ago. I saw a sale at CVS for these drops, so I decided to try them again. Put one drop in each eye and immediately felt uncomfortable. I wanted to wash my eyes out and get it out right away. Made my eyes feel grainy and dry. Woke up the next day to a vein in my left eye running vertically through my eye by my iris. Never noticed this vein before, but here it is-red, angry, and noticeable. It’s been over 5 days since I took those drops ONCE, and that vein is still there. I’m praying this isn’t a permanent thing and it will fade with time. But this product should be pulled from shelves, the other reviews I’m reading are terrifying. Wish I had read these first before I put this toxic waste in my eyes! PLEASE DON'T USE LUMIFY!!!"

"It’s allergy season, and my eyes get minor redness, and I’ll use Visine. We received a sample of Lumify in the mail, and I decided to try it out one Friday while getting ready to attend an outside wedding. After applying Lumify in each eye, I immediately had an itchy nose. On the car ride to the wedding, I wanted to itch the inside of my nose like crazy! This continued throughout the night. The next day, my left eye duct was clogged, red, and swollen. I am beyond upset! Do not use this product! I will be seeing my doctor tomorrow."

"After using Lumify, my visual acuity decreased significantly overnight. I am still in the process of visiting an ophthalmologist to prevent legal blindness. I am concerned. Extremely worried. They should not have this product on the market."
