let's focus in hey howdy everybody i'm dr Neal Guymon
dr EyeGuy with the show that focuses on keeping your eyes the healthiest and your
vision the clearest i make a video every week a lot of

let's test the best redness relief eye drop probably the number one
recommended eye drop by your eye doctor for redness relief
is called lumify now lumify has been out for about two years
and in my opinion is the best over-the-counter eye drop
to relieve your red eyes now on the box of lumify it actually says that it will
work in one minute and that's going to be the
test that we're going to do today is we're going to put a drop in just one of
my eyes start the timer and then i'm going to
tell you about lumify and then we'll see how my eye looks
one minute after here we go let's just do let's just do a little before shot
here i'm going to put in my left eye right here kind of look up and around
and we'll kind of look at the right eye this
is the eye I'm not going to do the drop in here
and this is the eye will
trying to focus on the video here okay okay here we go i'm gonna try and do
this in one take i'm gonna try not cut from the camera
put a drop in start a timer on my phone and i'll tell you about why
lumify is the best here we go drop in the left eye
and boom and i'll let it work around magic and let's start a timer i gotta
hurry so this is accurate clink okay lumify
lumify came from a glaucoma medication called bromonidine
bromonidine is something that we use for glaucoma patients to lower eye pressure
now Bromonidine is actually a 0.2 percent dosage
and one of the side effects side effects of bromonidine
was actually to relieve redness a lot of times when we'd
put this drop in people that have glaucoma will lower the eye pressure and
their eyes will be bright bright white and so what they
found with lumify that if you or if you found
lowered the percentage of the dosage they actually lumpify is actually 0.025
percent it actually ends up being about an
eighth of what bromonidine is they found the perfect dosage that can relieve the
redness but also not lower eye pressure or
be like bromonidine is now lumify is really special compared to all
the other redness relief drops because lumify
it's already a minute i didn't even get into it okay here we go
let's dismiss this okay let's uh let's take a look and then i'll keep talking about
lumify here let's see how well it did after a minute
oh yeah oh yeah still a little bit of redness right there in the corner
we'll take another look when i'm done talking about lumify but over here
i mean maybe we're at a minute and 30 seconds but it definitely starts working
within a minute again this is the eye i did not
put the drop in how are we looking here looking good pearly white pearly white
on the left eye so let me keep talking here so the reason why lumify is special
or bromonidine in general it actually
will selectively target the veins of the eyes
now the reason why that's important is because it still keeps blood flow going
through the eyes now when it will target the veins it can
actually constrict the veins and that's what gets rid of that redness
but arteries will still be flowing in the eyes bringing that oxygen that your
eye needs now other redness relief eye drops the
popular ones are you know visine and clear eyes those unselectively target
the veins and arteries meaning they'll they'll constrict the veins and the
arteries restricting blood flow in the eyes
restricting oxygen and eventually when that chemical
wears off you'll get this thing called rebound redness
or your eye redness may come back and may come back with a vengeance and
almost worse than before you actually did the eye drop
and so sometimes people will almost get addicted to it because they'll put it in
there they'll constrict arteries and veins
after a while you'll get this rebound redness and then
oh my gosh my eyes are ready to they'll put it back in there and it'll
create this vicious cycle lumify doesn't or you're less likely to
have this rebound redness because it will selectively
target the veins and keep the arteries flowing with the
nice oxygen-rich blood and i think this is the main reason that
most eye doctors will recommend this because
you won't have this rebound redness and less likely you'll get addicted
to this type of drop but it will still do the trick now on the box it says it
may last up to eight hours and so it's actually approved for up to
four times a day usage i usually tell people maybe twice
a day that's where you want to start off with
you know morning night type of thing or usually if you're having some special
occasion family photos you have a hot date or something and you
don't want like red eyes then yeah put a drop in there it's
perfect for that and it works like that now important message
is if you have redness eye redness then
there's usually a core cause now lumify just covers up the symptom it
doesn't actually treat the core cause it wouldn't
treat dryness it wouldn't treat your allergies it wouldn't treat an infection
anything like that it's not going to treat it it's just going to cover up the
symptom of it this the redness being the symptom now if you're having
red eyes chronically red eyes lumify can cover up the symptom
but you definitely want to go in and see your eye doctor to find the core
issue of why your eyes are red because that will be ultimately the best thing
you can do for your eyes if you can treat the core
cause of the eye redness here let's step in and take another look here let's see
if i can focus on this just for the comparison i'll kind of look up
you can actually tell that it works on the lower eyelids too if you look at my
eyelids i've got kind of a red eyelid on the inside
and it almost looks like a pale eyelid pale being good in this case hey hit
that like button for that pearly white eye right there
now i've provided a link down below so you can actually check it out
kind of check out the cost of lumify but most of the time i'd say this drop is
definitely worth it if you have red eyes and you need to get these pearly
white eyes back for any special occasion definitely pick
up a bottle of lumify definitely worth it hey be sure to share
this video for all those people that have those red eyes
