"I believe that this product is DANGEROUS to use. After the first few days of using it I began to experience black floaters in both my eyes. I blew it off as maybe something else like stressful situations but I discontinued using it just to make sure. The floaters disappeared. About 10 days later I was going out of town for a reunion and wanted to look my best. I used the Lumify for 2 days and not only did the floaters come back but I developed a nasty broken vessel in the corner of my eye that lasted for a week. My doctor told me that he has had other patients that had BAD side effects from this product. I'd like to open a class action law suit against the company. My eyes have been extremely dry and red since."

"I was prescribed Lumify by my optometrist for treating my chronic red eye. It works like a charm! I only put one drop in each eye every morning and the red completely disappears! I never exceed a single drop in each eye per day so maybe that's why some have worse side effects than others? For those who say the FDA cut corners to put this out or think it should be recalled...remember that one size does not fit all. The possible side effects are clearly listed on the information given with the drops and EVERY over-the-counter product is "use at your own risk". I probably would not have tried this if not recommended by my eye doctor, but if it's good enough for a professional, it's good enough for me!"

"Wow! I have tried every redness dry eye and allergy eye drop and this is literally the ONLY thing that works for me and it works instantly! Not only does the redness completely disappear but also my eyes feel better! Been using for about 2 months now and don’t know how I would love without it! Highly recommend!"

"I just used these eye drops for the first time this morning, then took a shower. I was stunned to see when I looked in the mirror that the whites of my eyes were actually WHITE !!! I'm 64 years old and have had a lot of trouble with red, watery, itchy eyes just in the last year. Hands down, the best eye drops I've ever used, and I've used MANY!!"

"I was blown away by Lumify when I first used it, I’ve never seen my eyes so white before! I’ve been using it for 6-7 months now, but the side effects are so bad I have to stop. It worked great at first, but eyes began to be bloodshot unless I used it, & it began wearing off fast making it so I’d have to use it 1-3 times per day. My eyes are constantly red and burning now, I get relief if I put the drops in but then it wears off fast & burns a lot when it wears off. It burns a bit when they’re white too. Scary part is lately my vision has been SO blurry, when I’ve always had perfect vision. To the point where I can’t read the next street sign or the car license plate in front of me. Going in to get my vision checked and hoping these damages aren’t going to be permanent. I didn’t realize this can happen from the eye drops, I would’ve stopped a long time ago. They MUST include some warning! Also when I began using Lumify, visine stopped working. Strange."

"I, too , noticed that there is absolutely ZERO difference in the size or the amount of product when I purchased both of them (.25 and the .75 bottles). It’s totally scandalous and I’m not sure how they (the makers) get away with this. On another note, I was amazed at how quickly my eyes whitened when using the product (about a year now) but now using it for this length of time it seems like the drops are making my red eyes worse. I definitely have to use more than one drop to get the red out and the effect doesn’t last long at all anymore. I’m beginning to think that there is more to these drops then what’s being shared with us.. I’m planning on discontinuing use for a while so that I can determine if Lumify is actually making my eyes worse or not."

"Amazing. I wear contacts and work a desk job so staring at the monitor all day is a given. These make such a difference in the comfort of my eyes. They don't feel or look strained. My eyes are clear and bright beyond 8 hours. I would have happily given them a 10 but they are So expensive."

"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."

"This was recommended by my eye doctor. I used Lumify only one drop maybe once a week to go out. Yesterday I applied one drop to each eye to go out. About an hour later I noticed a subconjunctival hemorrhage in the outer corner of my right eye. This morning my entire eye is bright red. I looked up the side effects and this was listed as an infrequent side effect. I have no other risk factors: I didn't cough, sneeze, vomit, strain, rub, no foreign object, no hypertension, no diabetes, and take nothing that causes bleeding or bruising. This should be taken off the market."

"I’ve used these eye drops for almost 3 months now. They really helped my red dry eyes, however I noticed that I was getting a bald spot the size of a thumb on the back of my head. I’m not sure if hair loss/alopecia is a side effect but I will stop using these eye drops for the time being and evaluate if they are related."

"Used Lumify as a typical eye drop for dry eyes in ONE eye and after a couple days had a floater/light flash attack in ONE EYE that came on suddenly. Felt like I had globs in my eye too. Went to the doctor and they said it was typical old age (I'm 57). Symptoms gradually got better but didn't completely go away. Didn't relate it to Lumify until I started using the product again in my one eye (one eye weeps constantly) and SAME symptoms came back! Do not use this product!! It's putting poison in your eye!!"

"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."

"I experienced the rebound effect after long term use. My eyes became addicted to the drops and were always RED. I thought it was the only thing helping my redness short term, but it was what was harming me. This is not good for long term use. Please be warned!"

"I used Lumify sporadically a few times for special occasions. But yesterday I used it and immediately got a headache on the left side of my head. A few hours later in now have a hemorrhage in my left eye! Along with these two issues I also got tension in the muscles of my shoulders. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!"

"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."

"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."

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

"Product is to expensive for the amount product you get. Yes, true all 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."

"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."

"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!"

"As someone who has always suffered from dry, red eyes I've been an avid visine/rhotos user. So when I saw the commercial for lumify I was interested. I thought it was too expensive at first, but suddenly there was a change to allow these to be paid for with FSA/HSA $. As with others, this product worked great at first. But over time, my eyes became dependent and I developed a tolerance to them until I had to use them several times a day. Now they look worse than they originally did and sometimes using them doesn't do anything at all for me. They also feel continuously dry, swollen and generally irritated. No other eye drops work anymore, and now a year in, I finally read the reviews. Wondering if/when my eyes will ever return to normal... DON'T FALL FOR THIS TRAP."

"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!"

"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!!!!"

"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."

"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 eye 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 presses 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!!"
