Not so much as addicting. But they can decrease your natural tear production over time, making you need drops more and more. Only use them if you really need to and see a doctor, you may have clogged duct or some other under lying issue!

not chemically addictive, no.
but eyedrops that have vasoconstrictors like naphazoline and tetrahydrozoline can have addictive-like qualities. if used enough the person ends up with "rebound hyperemia" and eyes that are red most if not all the time. the person gets to where they cannor look white/normal w/o *constant* vasoconstrictor use.
i *call* that "visine addiction", but its technically not chemical dependency...

Maybe not physically addicted (like nicotine is...) but you could just get addicted to using them (like someone would be addicted to chewing gum)

Two many eye drops -even saline can irritate your eyes -fooling you into thinking that you need more.
