Using Visine regularly can actually make your red eyes worse. It can lead to “rebound redness” where your eyes will become persistently red and worse with time. Visine works by constricting the blood vessels and limiting the blood flow to your eyes. With repeated use, your eyes can become accustomed to this.

Overusing eye drops can cause more harm than good. While eye drops may provide satisfying and quick relief for itchy or irritated eyes, exceeding the daily recommended dosage can cause serious eye health problems..

Lubricating eye drops like VISINE Tears® Dry Eye Relief and Visine Dry Eye Relief All Day® Comfort, can be an effective way to relieve your eyes from dryness and irritation associated with dry eye.

Regardless of which type of conjunctivitis people have, it's important that they avoid using any red-eye-reducing drops, such as Visine. These eye drops may worsen symptoms and could feel very uncomfortable if an infection causes conjunctivitis.
