For the past couple of years I was
addicted to eye drops like Visine, Clear
Eyes and Opcon-A. I developed a case of
Rebound Redness and went to an eye doctor.
He seemed to think it was allergies and
gave me drops that did nothing so I
decided to stop going and wasting my
money.
The reason I think (and I pretty much
know) that it is rebound redness is
because the only time my eyes WERENT
bloodshot were when I used to drops, and
when the drug wore off my eyes got
bloodshot again.
About 1.5 weeks ago I quit the redness
releivers cold turkey. The redness in my
eyes has gone down noticably, but its
still there. The veins in my eyes are
noticably thinner and arent as bright. How
much longer do you think it will take
before they go away completely? I know I
havent been off them for long, but im not
very patient lol

Also, my eyes become quite dry sometimes
which I think is also leading to the
redness becoming worse. I read online that
there is something in the redness releiver
drops that can cause your eye to dry out
as well.
Right now I am using Systane that I keep
in my fridge. It helps dim the redness but
seems to quickl evaporate leaving my eyes
dry again. Are there any other drops I can
try? I have tried Soothe XP and Optive as
well and they only have minimal effects as
well.
