Visine Maximum Redness Relief Formula by Visine, Eye Treatments Review

Put the Visine Down--Now!

Visine is a vasoconstrictor, and redness disappears because your blood vessels cut off the flow of blood to your eyes. With continued use, it actually causes more crimson and you reach for your bottle to stop it more and more frequently. It creates the ultimate Catch-22 and your chances of being permanently harmed by it are high. This liquid can also affect the cornea and cause complete blindn...read moreess. If you need it once in a great while, it is safe. If you find it helpful and rely on it more than once or twice in a month, as I did, you become a junkie. There is such a thing as addiction to Visine--who knew? Lots of women across the country are suffering permanent vision loss because of the drops we thought were as safe as milk. Gather your Visine containers together. Pull the containers out of your purses, vanities, medicine cabinets, glove compartment, and office drawers and empty into a trash bag. Don't even think about stashing them under sofa cushions or in coat pockets--I know those old tricks. It was difficult for me to say goodbye to something that I had used as a type of cosmetic for much of my life. I find that singing Frankie Valli's "My Eyes Adored You" will help with the pain before you ditch the product for good. So now what, especially if you are plagued with allergies and sinus problems? Make the switch to GenTeal®, an anti-irritant found in the drugstore, my second home, and watch for an immediate improvement. It is completely free of preservatives and will safely moisturize your eyes.

Works great but can damage eyes

I have been using visine for years. I have allergies, as well as the beginning stages of glaucoma. I did not realize that visine is a huge contributor to the health of ones eyes. Perhaps it's because I use it daily, My eyes become addicted to it, or so I feel. I love visine, it brings my tired eyes to life, but good in moderation.

Works wonders, but dangerous for eyes

I love the results of Visine. The redness in my eyes is greatly reduced after using this product. My dry eyes are also gone after using this. My eyes feel quenched and there are no red lines. But, Visine can be damaging to the eyes if overused. It can actually make the problem of dry and red eyes worsen. I need to stop using this so often, but its difficult because it works so well. I wish this pr...read moreoduct was safer, because then it would be a must in my beauty arsenal. One should only use it in extreme cases of red or dry eyes, or on very special events where pampering is taken to the extreme. Otherwise, its best to avoid it to avoid any health problems down the road.
