Is using Visine every single day bad for your eyes ?

Question

I am talking for a long amount of time....like years....because I have really bad allergies.

Answer 1

You should probably mention that to your doctor but usually using anything like that long term effects how your eyes react to allergens naturally...but if you need it...you need it.

I use an eye lubricant often because my eyes don't make lubricant on their own. My opthamologist told me to use the eye lubricant 4 times a day....for the rest of my life, I suppose.

Too much or too little lubricant in the eye can cause pressure problems....leading to glaucoma or other eye problems.

I would definitely consult a physician on this one...

Answer 2

How I look at any medication. When we use anything, I feel over time our body gets lazy and depends on that medication to handle it. So, I try not to use any thing for a long period of time and try to change it around some too. Example; I use Aspirin, Tylenol and Ibuprofen for a headache, depending how bad it is. I not want to use just one all the time, but, keep it varied. This just how I feel and it just my opinion as to what I do. So, in your case, I would try to have 2-3 different eye drops that use different Chemicals (IF, this possible) and swap them around some. AND, suggest this to your Doctor to see what he think.

Answer 3

visine is especially to make your eyes whiter but it doesn't do good to the eyes. Try using Calendulene, it will calm down your allergies without arming the eyes
