Cheers for the info guys. So other than eyedrops, there's not much I can do about it?

I checked out Visine on Wiki, and was a little concerned by this....

Adverse effects

* Reducing the blood supply to the eye can prevent, or at least prolong, the healing cycle. Thus, the use of Visine® and other similar products is not helpful in healing the eyes [citation needed].

* Use will create a rebound after a couple of hours and make the eye look even redder. Prolonged use can permanently dilate blood vessels, so use should be limited to 1 or 2 times.

* Those using Visine® Original frequently report stinging and burning upon application[1].

* Although the use of Visine® as a poison to induce diarrhea has been discounted as an urban legend[2], systemic complications have been reported as a result of poisoning and accidental ingestion[2][3][4].
TommyJ Reviewed by TommyJ on . Reeeeeed eye I love to get stoned, but often I end up with a good dose of the red-eye, which is very annoying because I live at home, and I don't fancy my mum knowing that I love to get baked. Anyone know if it's 'curable'? Or what causes it? Or why it only happens to some people? Rating: 5
