For Eye Redness "I started using this and thought it was great. White eyes. After a few weeks, I started feeling a heavy head and dizziness after I used it. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me until I forgot to use it one morning, and the dizzy and heavy head wasn’t there. Also, looking at lights made me so dizzy. If this is really the cause of my issues, then this stuff is awful. I will not be using this again!"

For Eye Redness "Be aware I used Lumify today, it immediately hit me with a hard tension headache. I felt ear pressure and got a light head dizzy feeling as if I was having a stroke in my head. This product is horrible and should NOT be over the counter. They have ads of actors using it for filming, it's horrible. After 6 hours, and I'm still suffering."

For Eye Redness "It worked in an instant. Amazing! But then a couple of hours later, my eyes were itching, and I was dizzy, and bright light bothered me at the computer. This lasted a couple of hours. My eyes were a little swollen and then stayed itchy for two days. So if you want to be like Cinderella and have gorgeous white eyeballs for about 2 hours, be prepared to leave the ball in a hurry when time is up and then pay the price. I hope I never need the full strength used by glaucoma patients!"

For Eye Redness "Using Lumify is one of the biggest mistakes of my life. Lumify has mimicked a severe sinus infection that I’ve been treated for three times with no results of getting better (obviously it was Lumify the whole time). It has caused unbelievable swelling under my eyes, causing huge red and purple circles that are taking months to go away. My ears and head are chronically in pain. I truly feel like this stuff has been poisoning me for months and leaking down my capillaries. Last week, my body started rejecting these, and I got dizzy and weak. I have discontinued. A week later, today I’m still experiencing headaches and pressure around my nose and huge circles. I hope these are not permanent. Don’t buy these, they are not worth the long-term effects and make you feel extremely sick in phases."

For Eye Redness "I received a free sample of Lumify in a beauty bag I was given at Walgreens in my home area. Later that evening, put 1 drop in each eye. I went to bed and woke with somewhat swollen upper lids, along with my eyes feeling dry. I didn't think it could have been from the eye drops, so I put one drop in each eye again to help with the dryness I was having. Within 10 minutes, I felt dizzy, then my heart went into tachycardia at 135 to 147 bpm. I waited to see if my pulse would go down, but I was so dizzy and felt like I may be having a stroke. I waited over 30 minutes before I ended up calling 911. I honestly thought I was having a stroke or heart attack. EMTs took my blood pressure, which was 195/103 w/pulse at around 112. I told them about trying Lumify, but again, did not connect that it could be the issue until reading these comments. I would NOT recommend this product without speaking to a physician."

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 "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 "After I used Lumify for the first time, I experienced big pressure in my eyes and a really bad headache, and felt a little dizzy. I had really bad side effects. Be careful with this."
