I went through months of red eyes and blepharitis; I do have dry eyes. Only steriods seemed to help. Months later of on/off steriods so my ocular pressure didn't get out of hand, my docs think I have a toxicity to BAK - the preservative in most multi-dose eye drops, including steriod drops. Plus, I'd use Lumify and low and behold it also has BAK. BAK is known to cause issues with a large number of people who are on multi dose eye drops. After stopping everything but restasis the blepharitis and severe redness resolved. I still have some redness and would love to see Lumify in single dose vials. Do you have any other suggestions for red removal that is safe and doesn't have preservatives?

From HS, I've had slightly reddish eyes. I went to HS on a Caribbean Island and wondered if this might have been caused by the sun and/or proximity to sea water. I asked an eye doctor and he advised it was PIGMENTS. I am a dark-skinned man. Another suggested I might have dry eye. Otherwise, my eyesight is fairly good at 62. I used to work at a hotel's front desk overnight and a guest made a complaint about me including a reference to my "bloodshot" eyes. I didn't know if my eyes were especially bloodshot that night or if he was responding to how my eyes normally look. In any case, he was clearly casting aspersions and I was deeply offended - especially considering how ludicrous his complaint was.
I live in Africa and here there is so much fine dust in the air and everywhere. My eyes have always been decent white. Then I noticed that people who go out often or people who drive bikes have red/yellowish eyes. I noticed my cousins who don't go out often have very clear eyes. Now I'm pretty sure the huge dust cause some kind of irritation/inflammation where overtime the eye becomes more and more red/yellowish. Since a month I have been rainsing my eyes with plain clean bottled water 3 times a day. Just a small amount of water to remove that dust that can be sleeping in the eyes. And... I have already noticed my eyes are slightly clearer, wow! I can defintely see the improvement in pictures too.

I am allergic to metals, especially nickel but also copper. I would like to know if copper as a skincare ingredient can make me react. Something makes me trigger dermatitis, especially around the eyes, and I can't figure out what, could copper peptides, copper Gluconate (LRP Cicaplast Baume B5 has it) and other coppers do that to me? so desperate!

When I was suffering with recurring styes (semi resolved with the help of doxycycline as soon as one starts up) my doc informed me he saw thickening in the white of my eye, resulting in a "halo" around my brown pupils. He claims no way to prevent that. I'm 68, any suggestions with diet or supplements I can use to prevent it worsening. I worked for a guy once who had really thick, yellow and goopy eye whites. It grossed me out so much I can't stand the thought of getting like that.

I have permanent red veins from contact usage, there is no cure besides dangerous surgery. It's actually quite depressing. I always look high or tired and there's nothing I can do. Lumify has BAK as a preservative that is very hard on the eyes if used long term.

The lumify drops work for the kind of cloudy redness in the eyes and can soften some of those lines but don't get rid of the lines. Does anyone know how to actually get rid of the lines? I'm 26 and my eyes were perfectly white up until about 24 and a half and now it's hard not to be insecure about it. Eye doctor says that my vision is fine and no diseases.

If the redness is especially persistent on the middle area of your sclera, that's a key sign of dry eyes. The redness in the morning is also a sign of dry eyes. My advice is to book a dry eye assessment at an eye clinic . Dry eyes tend to get worse as time passes so the quicker you seek help the better.
