"I've used Lumify as needed for several years. I'm 78 and red eyes make you look older. They're like magic. I only use it about 4 times a week, once in the morning. I can't imagine some of the symptoms people describe, so I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that don't have sensitivity to an ingredient."

"Product is too expensive for the amount of product you get. Yes, true all you need is one drop, but a strong person will squeeze more than one drop, it is not metered. Even with a $4.00 coupon, still expensive."

"Glad I decided to try this eye drop. It started working almost instantly. Just bought it about an hour ago, and my one eye that was bloodshot red, and I mean like a tomato, is almost cleared up. This stuff is amazing. Worked better than Maximum Clear Eyes, and that is also a good product. I will always buy this from now on. Only downfall is the bottle is tiny for the price. It was still worth buying. Don't let the negative reviews deter you from trying it out for yourself."

"This product made my eyes so much worse. I bought it because I thought it would remove the redness that I had from drinking the night before. A year later, I'm addicted to these drops, and every time I stop, my eyes are bloodshot. I've seen 4 ophthalmologists, and my eyes are fine... On top of that, I get headaches, depression, and these drops have cost me lots of medical visits."

"I received a sample in the mail and was familiar with it because of the extensive TV marketing, so I tried Lumify and my eyes were beautifully white! I ran out and bought the $20 bottle. I was so excited and thought that I was rid of red eyes forever... well, tried it on day 2, and by evening I had a terrible burning pain in my eyes that was still present after day 4, with no further use of the product after day 2. I believe that overall, this is not a good product and I hope it does not take someone losing vision permanently before it is finally pulled from the shelves and discontinued!"

"I think it is just ridiculous at the amount of the liquid that is in the containers for the amount of money. Most eye drop bottles are full, and not a quarter, and tagged with an outrageous price. Also, the item did not work for me. My eyes did not turn white, and for 8 hours is just ludicrous to believe. $11 almost $12 for a quarter of a bottle, and the next size $19 almost $20 is unbelievable. A money maker with false hopes!!!!"

"I was interested in trying Lumify because of the commercial, it says it was used to clear your red eyes. I used it off and on for over a year. I have a history of blepharitis infections (last one over 5 years ago) and severe dry, red, irritated eyes. I've used it consistently for 30 days at a time, and I would notice that my eyes would burn more, or I would wake up with dizziness or headaches. I even had bad dreams with this. I kept using it because I wasn't sure if it was truly the Lumify. So after a while, I stopped using it, and I noticed all of that had gone away. I didn't have the dizziness, the constant headaches, or the bad dreams. Now, I started having blurry vision. I had LASIK about 7 years ago and thought maybe it was due to that. So the Lumify did not help me, it only made my situation worse. On top of the red, irritated, dry eyes, I now have blurry vision. My last eye appointment was February 2022, everything checked out except for now I have a stigmatism, which I've never had in my life."

"Very disappointed. My initial experience was great, with clear, bright eyes after using this product. However, after some time, I am experiencing the same broken capillaries and irritation that other reviewers complain about."

"I used this product previously with good results until yesterday. About an hour after use, I felt pain that felt like a stye coming on. It wasn't until this morning I saw the pain was due to a clump of burst blood vessels in the eyeball of one eye. Why is this product on the market?"

"Don't use these drops every day, folks. That's why you're experiencing all of these negative side effects. I read these reviews, and I couldn't believe people were using these every day. These drops are best used on special occasions. Don't, I repeat, don't use these every day. They are not for everyday use!"

"I have been using Lumify for 10 months, it does make my eyes less red. But the first time was so very white I almost couldn't believe it. I have very dry eyes and have been red since I can remember, maybe 12 years old... I'm 69 now. I was told by my eye doctor they would last 8 hours, but they don't keep them white even an hour now. But they do have a soothing effect for me, so I have kept using them along with Restasis for dry eyes and another prescription for allergy eyes and an over-the-counter dry eye drops. I feel like all these drops are running my life and taking my money away. I do all the things to help my dry eyes, I don't understand why they stay red."

"I see an ophthalmologist twice a year and I am diagnosed with blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids). With the combination of eyelid scrubs with Lumify in the AM and Refresh eye drops at night, my eyes feel more like normal and relieved from the burning, puffy red eyes I always have when I wake up. Lumify makes my eyes feel so much better by reducing my inflammation and redness. The low-dose ingredients are safer for your eyes than the harmful ingredients that you will find in other red-eye drops. I’ve been using this product for about 5 months and will continue. I took two points off of a 10-star rating because the results are not long term, but when my year-round allergies are at their worst, Lumify came in for the save... allowing me to open those red puffy eyes in less than 60 seconds to whiter, less puffy eyes."

"I was lured by the commercials on television to try the product despite the high price. I figured I’d buy one of the smaller bottles, though they all seem to come in the same size, just more or less filled. I was pretty pleased to see good results for the first month or so, so I splurged and bought a double pack to save some money overall. Before opening up a bottle from the double pack, which I had already removed from the packaging, I woke up with a subconjunctival hemorrhage in my left eye and an enlarged red vein in my right eye. Needless to say, I’ll have to bite the bullet on the $30 double pack since I’ll no longer be using this product. Very disappointed. Have always had good luck with B&L products till now. I guess if it’s too good to be true, it is."

"We absolutely love Lumify. As we aged, our eyes are strained and therefore look tired and red. Lumify will cause eyes to appear bright, white, and overall younger. It only lasts about 6 hours, but it is an incredible product for appearance."

"I began using Lumify about 1-2 yrs ago after my niece’s eye Dr recommended it to her. I’ve struggled with eye redness and dryness for years. The first time I used the drops, my eyes were whiter than I had even thought possible. I continued these drops every morning. Over time, it became more difficult to get the redness out and my eyes were never really white again and I began getting blurred vision and eye pressure. I went to the eye Dr for exam and new contacts. First 2 weeks, contacts were great. Just within the last 3 weeks, my vision has worsened to the point that even with my contacts in, I still cannot read the screen on my phone without also using my reading glasses. After eating dinner out tonight, I removed my contacts in the car due to very blurred vision and was shocked to find that I am now completely unable to drive without contacts which has NEVER been the case. I’ve always driven without eyewear. I’m terrified that Lumify has destroyed my vision permanently."

"So, a couple of years ago, I got this as a sample from a sample site. I used it once, and my eyes burned. But I chalked it up to my eyes being sensitive. Tried them the next day. Oh my gosh. So much pain in my sinuses! Burned pretty bad. Threw them in the trash. Fast forward to last week. The opportunity came for another sample. Got it in the mail a couple of days ago. I'm waiting to go into work, so I figured I'd give them another try - WHY!? Why did I do that to myself!? It's burning my sinuses and throat currently. And to be honest, it was giving me a weird feeling in my chest area. That just went away, but it feels like my ears are stuffy? Looked up some things on Google about Lumify, and it's not good. I wish I wouldn't have used them. This needs to be taken off the shelf. Pronto."

"I thought Lumify was going to clear my eyes. Only to find out after using this product I now have floaters. The eye doctor stated this is age related. But I didn't have any experience with floaters prior to using Lumify. I can't help but wonder did Lumify bring on the floater experience which is very annoying. Now I need help/support to get rid of the floaters without surgery."

"DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT! Lumify was recommended to me. I have been using these drops everyday for 1 1/2 Years. works great on redness but... I have blurry vision now that I did not have before. I did get dizzy for 2 days a month ago ,it went away.  I have Black floater in my right eye.  I stopped using the drops yesterday, after my mom's eye doctor tolled her this product is bad news. Reading all these bad reviews confirms it!"

"I cannot believe this is OTC! I tried it for 2 days, and it caused excessive pain in both eyes. Then one eye was tearing up, gunky in the morning, red, and swollen. What? How do they get away with this?"

"I have suffered so badly with red, bloodshot eyes since I started using Visine. They became so dependent on them and eventually didn’t work at all. Just made my eyes so sore. I bought Lumify eye drops from the U.S. as this is the only place I could purchase them from online, as Australia doesn’t stock them. Best eye drops I have ever purchased. My eyes have stopped relying on Visine, and from 6 to 9 times a day of applying Visine, I only have to apply Lumify once a day. ❤️ This product."

"I just started using Lumify last week once a day when applying my make-up. It did a great job whitening my eyes, but after several days of use I began experiencing, drowsiness with insomnia, head fog, and then eye watering. I was afraid I had COVID, but then it occurred to me that I had just started using Lumify so I googled side effects which lead me to leave this review. I didn't think to research eye drops before using them, but I'm glad I did now so that I know that they are what's causing my symptoms. I haven't used them for about 32 hours and I'm still feeling the side effects. I hope by discontinuing use they will go away."

"Burning eyes right away that lasts several hours. Followed by headache and overall concern over my well-being when I had none. I can’t believe such a horrific formula exists. I wouldn’t want my pets to experience this! This shouldn’t be allowed for animals or humans. Get off the marker!"

"Worked great for me for 3 years- then developed a sensitivity - red raccoon circles under my eyes. I had no idea that eye drops could affect the skin. I stopped taking lumify and am hoping for a full recovery. I recently received an email from lumify announcing their skincare line that will seem to address the sensitivities - what kind of eye drops have skincare for under the eyes.? I doubt I’ll use lumify anymore."

"It worked great the first few months I used Lumify, then one eye got really red and wouldn’t clear up and after a few more days both eyes were red. Called Dr as I thought it was pink eye/conjunctivitis. After 5 days of antibiotic eye drops they are still red. Will call/go in to eye Dr. Tomorrow 1-1/2 weeks in to this, and I hope my eyes are not damaged. Beware! Don’t think because it’s SO expensive it’s good- it is NOT GOOD."

"I used it once, around 6pm. It worked great. My bloodshot, red-rimmed, allergic eyes were almost immediately clear. I was so happy. My eyes felt so good. Nothing else seemed to work before this. I woke up at 6am with blurred vision. It seemed to resolve 2-3 hours after that. I cannot bring myself to try again. What if that could become permanent?"
