For Eye Redness "First time, worked well, but noticed blurry vision and pupils would not dilate. Took eight hours for effects to wear off. Next morning, woke up with subconjunctival hemorrhaging in both eyes, soreness (like a bruise), inflammation, and headache. Thought maybe it was a one-off reaction, so set aside for later trial. Last night, used as I had done the time before, but it burned this time. Dismissed as due to dry eye because Restasis burns badly if eyes are dry. Again, vision became blurry, pupils would not dilate, and eyes were highly irritated. This morning, woke up with the feeling of being punched in the eyeballs. Again, subconjunctival hemorrhages, inflammation that looked like globs of petroleum jelly in each eye, same kind of headache. Threw away and began a search for drug information and similar testimonies. Wonder if the product was tested extensively enough. Seems these adverse reactions are not that uncommon. Like any drug, may be the perfect solution for some and a nightmare for others."

For Eye Redness "I have used Lumify 2x, and I am miserable. My right eye is blurry, and my nose won’t stop running. I am sneezing like crazy. I called Bausch and Lomb and Poison Control. Please don’t use this product. Read the other reviews also. Warning."

For Eye Redness "Horrible product. After using for a few weeks, my eyes have a red rash all around them and are hazed over, along with blurred vision and the redness. I was trying to prevent, my eyes are worse than they ever were!"

For Eye Redness "Lumify did make my eyes whiter. They felt smoother. But by that night, my vision was so blurry, and my eyes felt like I had floaters I couldn’t get rid of. Really hope this passes. Double vision is not worth whiter eyes. So weird and scary to have such an extreme change in my vision. I’d think twice about using this product for pure vanity’s sake. I put Systane in my eyes to see if I could clear up the floaters and blurry vision. Barely a change."

For Eye Redness "Although Lumify brightened the whites of my eyes, the effects I suffered were not worth it. I experienced 12 or more of the side effects listed: blurry vision, tearing, and eye pain for four or more days. Using an eye gel did provide some relief. I stopped using Lumify and returned the product to the store."

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

For Eye Redness "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 my eyes began to be bloodshot unless I used it, and 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 and burns a lot when it wears off. It burns a bit when they’re white too. The 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."

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 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."

For Eye Redness "I began using Lumify about 1-2 years ago after my niece’s eye doctor 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 doctor for an exam and new contacts. The 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 "I used it once, around 6 pm. 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 6 am 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?"

For Eye Redness "DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT! Lumify was recommended to me. I have been using these drops every day 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 a black floater in my right eye. I stopped using the drops yesterday, after my mom's eye doctor told her this product is bad news. Reading all these bad reviews confirms it!"

For Eye Redness "Lumify was tried in one eye on three 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."
