For Eye Redness "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 hit it. It is now Tuesday, and my eye is still bloodshot red, but the pain is decreasing. 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."

For Eye Redness "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 feel 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, 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 had read these first before I put this toxic waste in my eyes! PLEASE DON'T USE LUMIFY!!!"

For Eye Redness "Used Lumify as a typical eye drop for dry eyes in one eye, and after a couple of 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!"

For Eye Redness "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. The next day, my left eye duct was clogged, red, and swollen. I am beyond upset! Do not use this product! I will be seeing my doctor tomorrow."

For Eye Redness "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 subconjunctival 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."

For Eye Redness "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 I 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!"

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "As someone who has always suffered from dry, red eyes, I've been an avid Visine/Rohto's 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 used Lumify for about two years every day. It initially reduced the redness in my eyes. After a year, I started getting horrible hemorrhagic blood capillary bursts. My entire eye would turn red following the burst. I went to my optometrist, who said my eyes were fine and it was not caused by Lumify, so I continued to use it. I continued to get broken capillaries and red eyes. I have not used Lumify in about five months, however, I still get the hemorrhagic burst in my eye every few months. I am hoping my eyes will heal and that Lumify has not caused permanent damage. This has caused me stress and anxiety and just want others to be aware this could happen to you."

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

For Eye Redness "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 than 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."

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 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!"

For Eye Redness "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."

For Eye Redness "This product made my eyes so much worse. I bought it because I thought it would remove the redness that I had from drinking the night before. A year later, I'm addicted to these drops, and every time I stop, my eyes are bloodshot. I've seen 4 ophthalmologists, and my eyes are fine... On top of that, I get headaches, depression, and these drops have cost me lots of medical visits."

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 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!"

For Eye Redness "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."

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 were expanding. It took the red out instantly, but for hours that feeling of my eyes being on a steroid high intensified as the night wore on. I’ll never use this product again."

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 as if I am addicted to these eye drops! I wish I could get the hundreds of dollars that I have spent on these back. DO NOT BUY!"

Not only does the redness completely disappear, but also my eyes feel better! I've been using it for about 2 months now and don’t know how I would live without it! Highly recommend!"

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 started using Lumify for 5 days. It did clear up my red eyes within minutes. When I put my contacts in after 10 minutes, within minutes they were just as red as usual, I'm assuming from pollen allergies. This happened every time I used the eye drops, plus now I am having problems seeing as well with my contacts. Don't know if the two are related somehow, but I threw away whatever eye drops were left. Will not use Lumify again."
