A member asked:
I was curious if visine for contacts and visine tears is bad for your eyes, i have heard bad things about the regular formulas of visine.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not bad: These have been tested extensively and do not cause ill effects to the eyes. Avoid using any drops that say "gets the red out" as these can be drying and uncomfortable. There are many brands and very small variations in the composition so try out a few to get the one best for you.
