For Eye Redness "I have used this product for about a year. At first, it was a miracle, but now I feel like my eyes have much more redness than before after only about four hours. Also, they are very watery now... I'm going to stop using this product."

For Eye Redness "This really does make my eyes white. At first, I thought the only problem was there are very few drops in the bottle. After about three weeks of using it a couple of times a week, my vision is very blurred, and I had to buy reading glasses. I had already bought a new bottle, so I tried using it again. My eyes started burning and watering. The blurred vision has not gone away, and I have discontinued using the product. It does make your eyes very white, but for me, the side effects are just too great. Hope my vision gets better soon."

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "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!"

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "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 feels 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 and 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 read these first before I put this toxic waste in my eyes!! PLEASE DON'T USE LUMIFY!!!"

For Eye Redness "First time I used Lumify (otc, not prescription), I got a mild headache. Tried again a couple days later, worse headache, feeling a bit bad. Mouth dry as a desert. 3rd 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?"

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "I had used Lumify drops for the last 8 months. Initially I was blown away by the ability to make the white of my eye so clear. Within a few weeks I noticed that I needed to use it more frequently to achieve the same results. On the days I didn’t use it my eyes appeared red more often and even felt scratchy at times. My biggest concern is that 2 days ago I woke up with a large amount of blood vessels burst (a subconjuctival hemorrhage) in my right eye. I’ve never had this before, do not have high blood pressure, and didn’t have any of the other issues associated with this condition. I am reading the reviews and notice I am not the only one. I will not be using this product anymore, and have serious concerns about the long term use of it."

For Eye Redness "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 — 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 & again in April & May. It was so bad that I called out of work b/c I was embarrassed to be seen. The ophthalmologist told me to stop wearing my contacts & 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 b/c I read a few reviews here and a 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!"

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

For Eye Redness "I bought the 2.5 ml bottle and when it didn’t last long- I bought the 7.5 ml bottle and they are EXACTLY THE SAME BOTTLE! I think they are ripping people off! Beware!! The only difference is the box was longer. How these companies get away with packaging there products on size and weight is criminal. The product is only the smallest part of the whole product!"

For Eye Redness "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 eyedrops. Unacceptable."

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "I tried Lumify about a year ago and upon using started having floaters which I had never had before. Had to go the eye Dr 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 Dr 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 Dr was right that it was just a coincidence the 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."
