"I love this product. It eliminates redness immediately. I use Restasis for dry eye, a very expensive prescription eye drop that doesn't work as well as Lumify. My ophthalmologist approved it. My only issue is that the caps on the bottle don't open very easily I have contacted Bausch and Lomb, who said this is a recurrent problem. Be prepared to use tools to open them. Also, the larger bottle is exactly the same size as the smaller bottle - so odd."

"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 opthomologist for a recheck and had to get a different script for reading glasses as well as driving. Two pair! 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 got eye floaters and then eye bleeds. I have permanent floaters or whatever they are in my eyes. Had to see the dr and now go every 6 months. Do not use this product. There should be a class action law suit in my opinion."

"I heard about how white they make your eyes and I used to use Visine when my eyes got red so 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 that I wouldn't be driving. 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 just used for the first time this morning and immediately my eyes started watering and burning. I felt like someone had threw sand in my eyes and my nose is itchy. Although it made my eyes completely white. I will not be using them again. I purchased 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 listed Lumify on drugs used when I went to 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 couldnt believe these had made it to market because one of the ingredients is used for glaucoma. Told me to stop taking immediately!"

"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 your 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 & headaches everyday. 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 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 belief they were fake reviews. I feel the FDA needs to get involved here."

"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 eye dr. 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."

"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."

"Same effect as Visine but 1 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. Sooo 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 till at least 8 hours later. So warning stick with one. I will stick with Original Visine. Great results and price."

"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 after effects. 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 — 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!"

"The drops worked very well! I only used 1 drop in each eye and got instant results. The only problem I had with 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 cost much less."

"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!!!"

"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."

"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."

"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 hits it. It is now Tuesday and my eye is still bloodshot red but the pain is deceasing, 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"

"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!"

"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?"

"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."

"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. Next day, my left eye duct was clogged , red and swollen . I am beyond upset! Do another use this product ! I will be seeing my doctor tomorrow ."

"I have had moderate eye floaters for years, but with one use of Lumify it seemed to worsen. About 2 hours after applying one drop to each eye, I started seeing a noticeable increase of floaters in my field of vision. I have used Visine for years and never experienced this."

"Bought these since I heard great things. Like others, it worked great for a week or two (and didn’t even use it everyday) but now whenever I put it in my left eye has a subjunctive hemorrhage in the same exact spot every time since I started it. Not worth it."

"I’m shocked to read the bad reviews and sorry they had that experience. I always have these drops on hand, as a 47-year-old that works shift work and always has bloodshot eyes, I found these drops amazing. I’ve never had anything happen and even have contacts. Just pop them out, take the drops, and pop them back in around the 10-15 minute mark, and my eyes are so bright and have had so many compliments. So I’ll say thank you and still say it’s worth a try :)"
