Visine Totality Multi-Symptom Relief (tetrahydrozoline / zinc sulfate) for Eye Redness/Itching "I have used other Visine products, however, Visine Totality Multi-Symptom Relief one was a absolutely terrible! I felt like I dropped acid straight into my eyes. I see this is common. WHY is this still on the market?"

Visine Totality Multi-Symptom Relief (tetrahydrozoline / zinc sulfate) for Eye Redness/Itching "Went to the drug store earlier today to buy eye drops. Pollen is so bad in NJ and my eyes were itching, red, and I had blurry vision. I bought this because it was the most expensive brand and I figured it would work better. Nope! My eyes are on FIRE! And they itch so bad for 20 mins after using this product. $12.99 down the drain."

Visine Totality Multi-Symptom Relief (tetrahydrozoline / zinc sulfate) for Eye Redness/Itching "After applying the eye drops I experienced burning and itching in my eyes that lasts for about five minutes and then subsides. I don't know if this is something that should keep me from using it or not. I use it in the morning about 30 minutes before putting in my contacts, (Only when I need it though)."

Visine Totality Multi-Symptom Relief (tetrahydrozoline / zinc sulfate) for Eye Redness/Itching "I bought these for dry eyes and I also have many eye floaters, this product has helped me so much and makes my floaters almost go away after I use it for awhile, my vision does get blurry a few mins after use but then goes away! Great product I will buy again and the burning isn't that bad."

Visine A.C. (tetrahydrozoline / zinc sulfate) for Eye Redness/Itching "Caused my eyes to instantly burn. I attempted several times to use these and the same thing happened over and over. They turned very red and burned badly. I finally had to use saline to wash out my eyes."

Visine Totality Multi-Symptom Relief (tetrahydrozoline / zinc sulfate) for Eye Redness/Itching "I used Visine -A for my itchy allergy symptoms. I put one drop in each eye and experienced burning intense pain in both eyes. It hurt so bad that I could not open my eyes for 5 or 6 seconds. I never used eye drops that cause me to have reaction. I will never use this product again."

Visine Totality Multi-Symptom Relief (tetrahydrozoline / zinc sulfate) for Eye Redness/Itching "This is HORRIBLE. My allergies have been bad lately. I went to the pharmacy to get eye drops. I normally get Similasan, which works great. They didn’t have that so I decided to give this a try. I was torn between this and another cosine product, but unfortunately decided on this one. Oh my goodness the burning was terrible. I even gave it a few tries. I thought maybe my eyes needed to get used to it. Day 3 and no improvement. Burning just as bad as first time. Ordered Similasan on day 1 from amazon, but still won’t be here for a few more days. I’m going to another pharmacy later just to see if they have it because I can’t use this another day."

Visine Totality Multi-Symptom Relief (tetrahydrozoline / zinc sulfate) for Eye Redness/Itching "I have mild allergies to our family cat. I had my boyfriend pick me up some eye drops to help with the itchy, red and burning eyes. I had never used totality before but have used other visine products and loved them. This one burned and felt like my eyes were on fire for about 5 to 10 minutes, after a few hours my eyes do feel better but it shouldn't be at the cost of setting my eyes on fire!"

Visine Totality Multi-Symptom Relief (tetrahydrozoline / zinc sulfate) for Eye Redness/Itching "Two thumbs down. At first it was going well, and then the burning started. Like I got hit in the eye with pocket sand or something. Tossing this bottle and going to try a different brand. I'd give it a zero, but it wouldn't let me"

Visine Totality Multi-Symptom Relief (tetrahydrozoline / zinc sulfate) for Eye Redness/Itching "I bought these drops this morning thinking it would help. Instead, it made my eyes worse. My eyes burn so bad I could not open my eyes for five minutes. Even then the light hurt my eyes and my eyes were blurry. It has now been 10 hours and my eyes still hurt."

Visine Totality Multi-Symptom Relief (tetrahydrozoline / zinc sulfate) for Eye Redness/Itching "I had terribly itchy eyes after gardening all afternoon. Without thinking much of it I used these Visine drops and my eyes stung terribly for a moment or two. When the stinging ended my eyes felt better than they had for days. The wonderful results were well worth a few moments of discomfort!"

Visine Totality Multi-Symptom Relief (tetrahydrozoline / zinc sulfate) for Eye Redness/Itching "My first time using the eye drops was for redness. It burned but after a few minutes subsided but then it felt like there something underneath the inside of my eyelid and it was scratching my eyeball terribly. It was bothering me so bad I had to go lie down. That went on for 2-3 days. I didn’t realize at the time it was caused by the Visine. The second time it did me so bad as I am experiencing this at the present time. It badly burned me eyeball. I used the drops thinking that I had a hair stuck under my eye lid. I kept feeling scrapping on my eyeball. Then it turn really red, swollen, and a white, cloudy, film kept forming over my eyeball. Every time I removed it more would come. Woke up the next day and my eye was stuck shut from drainage. My eye is so huge from swelling. Learning now that this stuff chemically burned my eyeball. Going to see a doctor today. How is this still on the market? Someones eyes could be severely damaged from using this product."

Visine A.C. (tetrahydrozoline / zinc sulfate) for Eye Redness/Itching "My dog and cat sleep on my bed and sometimes I awaken with itchy watery eyes due to pet dander allergies. 1 drop of Visine A.C. in each eye makes them burn and sting so badly that it’s like using boiling water. I plan to try another brand."

Visine Totality Multi-Symptom Relief (tetrahydrozoline / zinc sulfate) for Eye Redness/Itching "So I got this Visine Totality because I have dry eyes, and I also lately have been having very bad puffy eyelids lately and someone told me that I might have allergies that are effecting my eyes and should try allergy eyedrops. So I got new eye drops and I chose the multi-action allergy eye relief and wow they worked. Only been trying them for three days and my big puffy eyes are pretty much gone. There is burning sensation but it it only lasts a minute and then it's gone. And it doesn't burn in the morning when I first wake up. Only when I put them in at the end of the day. I'm assuming it's because of the allergen or debris are in my eye which cause the drops tor burn (to work). But they don't burn so much in the morning only at the end of the day. So I'm pretty happy with the results of this product."

Visine Totality Multi-Symptom Relief (tetrahydrozoline / zinc sulfate) for Eye Redness/Itching "I bought the new Visine total comfort all in one drops hoping for better relief for my dry eyes. To my dismay and extreme pain the drops burned my eyes like fire upon contact. It’s been 4 days since and I’ve been using just regular Thera tears I used before to help with even further dryness and pain which it helps. Even my eye lids had an adverse reaction to the new Visine and are painfully red, tender and itchy. I’ve even considered going to the eye dr it hurt so bad but I have no vision insurance. I tried the new Visine based upon their name brand, past products and experience in their field but I wouldn’t recommend this product to anyone to try."

Visine Totality Multi-Symptom Relief (tetrahydrozoline / zinc sulfate) for Eye Redness/Itching "I bought this new Visine product on Dec 17, 2021 and upon first use it burned my eye badly. I didn’t put it in my other eye and immediately washed my eye out, the pain was intense. I went online to Visine (Johnson & Johnson) and wrote them to complain (I’ve never done so before in my life) and see if they would look into it. I did get a response back asking questions and if I had gone to an eye dr however I have no insurance that covers vision and I’m a retired widow and need to use money wisely (Medicare does not cover vision). They said they deemed it not serious then and would close out my complaint. I was surprised by that by a company of their size and so many people like me having used their products over the years as being a trusted name brand. I guess company and money wins every time over the consumer and a complaint. It’s been 2 months now and my eye is still painful, it burns as well as inside my eye lid and on top and itchy. I’ve made an appt with my PCP."
