A member asked:
Is it possible to whiten the whites of your eyes?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Maybe: It depends on the cause of the redness. If there is an underlying condition like dryness, blepharitis or allergies, usually treating the underlying cause will help with the redness. Visine and clear-eyes over the counter are not recommended for prolonged use as it can cause you to become dependent and cause "rebound redness.".

Yes, but not easily : Most products sold for this have a medicine in them that constricts the blood vessels on the surface of the eye. This makes them look white for a short time but then can end up making the problem worse. The best bet is to use an artificial tear if the eyes are dry or irritated.
