For Eye Redness "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 were 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!"

For Eye Redness "I think it is just ridiculous at the amount of the liquid that 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 bottle and the next size $19 almost $20 is unbelievable. A money maker with false hopes!!!!"

For Eye Redness "I was diagnosed with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and these eye drops definitely do work for red eyes. I have not had the negative effects some reviewers are pointing out, however, I try to limit my use to only a few or a couple of times a week. I would highly advise against using this daily, no matter what anyone says, including my eye doctor. Some doctors say thumbs up and some say thumbs down. Use your own judgment."

For Eye Redness "Don't use these drops everyday, 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 everyday. These drops are best used on special occasions. Don't, I repeat don't use these everyday. They are not for everyday use!"

For Eye Redness "Each time I have used these drops (one drop per eye in morning) the side effects were different and more extreme. Initially, after several hours of application, my right eye felt very dry and scratchy. Today, the vision in my left eye became impaired (peripheral left quadrant - was seeing swirling movement) and I had a migraine headache both behind and around my right eye. I will no longer be using these drops."

For Eye Redness "I see an ophthalmologist twice a year and I am diagnosed with Blepharitis (inflammation of the eye lids). With the combination of eye lid 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 then 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."

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "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 yrs 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 will 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 stop 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 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. 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."

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "Lumify has made my eyes BLOODSHOT red over time. My eyes have been very red for a year now and I keep using lumify to make them less red. However, I believe that lumify is the cause of my red eyes. There are splotchy red spots all over and now it’s is if I am addicted to these eye drops! I wish I could get the hundreds of dollars that I have spend on these back. DO NOT BUY!"

For Eye Redness "After using Lumify for 5 days, one drop in each eye a day, I experienced a huge sub-conjunctival hemorrhage. The blood was so intense that it filled half of my eye and bulged at the surface. I went to my doctor to get my blood pressure checked and all was OK. I have NO other health issues. It has been two weeks, and my eye is just starting to clear up. I did not realize that Lumify was the cause until I read the same complaints by other consumers. I will never purchase from Bausch and Lomb again!"

For Eye Redness "I have suffered so bad with red bloodshot eyes since I started using visine, they became so dependent on them & eventually didn’t work at all, just made my eyes so sore, I bought lumify eye drops from the US as this is the only place I could purchase them from, on line, as Australia doesn’t stock them, best eye drops I have ever ever purchased my eyes have stopped relying on visine & from 6 to 9 times a day of applying visine I only have to apply lumify once a day ❤️ This product"

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "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 taken off the shelf. Pronto."

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

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "I read reviews online about using this product 2 years post lasik and saw no red flags. So I used just one drop and the next day - within 18 hours mind you - my right eye all of a sudden started hemorrhaging. Within seconds of using it I could immediately feel it working and it felt like my eyes expanding. It took the red out instantly but for hours that feeling of my eyes of being on a steroid high intensified as the night wore on. I’ll never use this product again"

For Eye Redness "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?"

For Eye Redness "Lumify was tried in one eye on 3 separate occasions. First in the left eye because there was a contact in the right eye. Immediately, the drops burned and the eye felt like it was scratched and vision was blurry for overnight. The next time, a drop was placed in the right eye with the same results. Went without contacts for a week thinking corneas were scratched. After the eyes felt normal again, a Lumify drop was placed in the left eye to see if there was a visible difference between the whites of each eye. Severe pain like acid drops were being used with blurred vision for four hours. Not until the third try were the effects related to the drops. These drops were not well tolerated."
