What the gurus are saying

Bright, white eyes in a hurry is the detail these takes keep returning to, and it is said to last up to eight hours. Others note it avoids the rebound redness older drops can cause, though it should not go on skin. The caveat that matters: overuse can lead to an allergy, so once or twice a day is the range the takes point to, and it is not a fix for pink eye.

"Lumify doesn't give you that rebound effect. [...] I started using it again and [...] my eyes are so bright white when I use it. I'm still trying to limit how much I use it, and if you find you're still using any eye drops, [...] you should see a doctor. [...] But I use it on days like today when I'm going to be on camera, and it works really, really well. [...] It really is a great eye drop, and I just love knowing there's an option out there that does not give you that rebound effect."

"I have completely switched over from all the other eye drops like Visine to Lumify, completely. Lumify is a little bit better because it uses a completely different chemical to take the redness out of your eyes. I like it, it lasts up to eight hours. I don't use it daily, usually just when [...] I'm going to be recording all day and I wake up with bloodshot eyes. [...] I've been really into it, I've completely switched over."

"I used Lumify for years and used to swear by them, I'd panic if I didn't have one on me. But I didn't realize you're not supposed to use them more than once or twice a day, and I was using them six to twelve times a day because of chronic dry eye. It turns out you can develop an allergy if you use them too frequently, [...] and I definitely was overdoing it. Now I have an allergy to Lumify and can no longer use them, and [...] even prescription drops don't work on my eyes anymore."

"I used to use Lumify eye drops and I swore by those, but apparently you're not supposed to use those like eight times a day, and that's how much I was using them because my eyes would get so red so quickly. Then I developed an allergy to Lumify, so I can no longer use it. They make my eyes just ridiculously bloodshot."

"The Lumify just brightens my eyes and I've been using it for now I think about 2 years. As I've gotten in my wiser years I noticed that my eyes just are more dull looking sometimes in the morning and I'm just not quite quite wide awake looking so the Lumify just brightens my eyes."

"I usually have a lot of allergies somewhat year round where I live and this just brightens up my eyes, makes them whiter, and I have no problem using this with my contacts. I've definitely once again checked with my ophthalmologist and they have no problem with me using this, but definitely check with your ophthalmologist, everyone has different health concerns with their eyes."

"This is something that you can use to get rid of red eye, not pink eye due to conjunctivitis because I don't think this would work for that. But this does a really good job to get rid of the redness and then the whites of your eyes are white and bright and you just look more awake. I just use it when I need it and it does a really good job for when you need something in a pinch to get rid of that red eye."
~Yay
"When my allergies are really bad my eyes get really red and I use this occasionally maybe once a week or something. It does instantly make your eyes brighter. It is pretty impressive. If you haven't tried it, might be worth a try depending on your issues with your eyes."
~Nay
"I do not suggest applying the Lumify eye drops to the skin, because they have bromonidine in them, and bromonidine can lead to rebound worsening of redness."

"I'm a huge fan of Lumify eye drops. [...] You essentially put them in and it instantly makes your eyes look more white and less red."

"The good thing about Lumify is that it works on the veins in your eye. So it does not disrupt blood flow or oxygen flow to the surface of your eye the way old school Visine or Clear Eyes did. And the problem with Visine and Clear Eyes is it would cause this rebound redness and this dependency and you don't get that with something like Lumify. So although I still try to only use it sparingly, I feel much safer using something like this long term."
