Other - Anti red eye drops

[Junkhead23]

Has anySWIs used these and do they work?

[Baked.]

SWIM uses the one from Puff and Stuff.

[psychs]

SWIM uses eye drops any time he will be going around parents/public and they always work perfectly. Sometimes he even feels they make his eyes TOO white like the background on this page.

How about Visine? Since it's medically approved.

Swim used to use visine but after repeated use it stops working and actualy made swims eyes more red. Atleast in swims experince.

Still great if not used often.

Swim uses Optrex Red Eye, put a couple of drops in each eye and it feels like your eye has eaten a mint or somethin (cold and fresh feeling). After a couple of mins your eyes will be white again.

Try smoking a load of weed then put some anti red eye drops in just 1 eye

Last time SWIM tried to clear his redeye, he just used standard saline, stuff that you use if you have contact lenses and stuff, within minutes SWIM had clear eyes and didn't looked stoned.

Great contribution, interesting observation. SWIM will have to try this himself and report back with a confirmation/disc...

I can't see how saline would help. Your eyes get red because THC is a vasodialtor in turn your heart pumps faster and you get red eyes. You actually need to apply a chemical which will constrict the vessels in your eyes, usually this is Naphazoline.

SWIM used to use Visine, but now prefers Clear Eyes Maximum Redness Relief.

[Diazepam]

Opcom are the best you can find them at walgreens

[yaba]

Swim was able to buy (at some chemist) eye drops which dilate the pupils in Amsterdam along time ago... Some chemist would say you need a prescription, others would sell it there and then..

[TimTrip]

IMO Visine/Yxine is the one and only solution as i´wearing contact lenses. And i guess all tha cats smokin in here wearing contact lenses know that "dry" feeling. Anyway Tetryzolinhydrochlorid, which is the main ingredient in Visine , can lead to some soft "addiciton" just as inthose nose sprays. Please correct me if im wrong here.

[Each Hit]

jeremiah always preferred visine. if used as directed, it works fine for him. clear eyes brand often make his eyes burn, so he tries to avoid it.

[satine]

SWIM uses ROHTO redness relief eyedrops
they're like Listerine for your eyeballs

[purplehaze147]

Swim just uses regular visine, it works good enough. Has anyone heard of eye drops called X (swim thinks thats what its called)? Swim used it once a while ago and it made has eyes crystal clear and it un-dilated. Swim thinks it was a clear bottle with a big X on it.

[Guigz]

Swim used this product a couple of time, and he think that's not very effective...

You can look for some product who contains sulforutoside sodium and phényléphrine, both are ophtalmic vasoconstrictors and are very easy to obtain without prescription.

Thanks for applying science and providing your criticism of another's post in a mature manner.

[Sugar1]

Not sure if that works but I just use clear eyes.

[Dr.Evil]

I totally agree with satine...

My cat, Mr. Bigglseworth, has been getting/being stoned in inappropriate places for years (class, advisor meetings, parents, etc.) and has found that in his opinoin....RHOTO's are the best eye drops to use...Mr.Bigglseworth can put one drop in each eye and smoke multiple times throughout the day and never get red-eye!

[methyou]

swim just uses some clear eyes they have always worked for swim and swim smoke alot so swim disagrees with the part that they stop working after a while.

[Baked.]

SWIM would say the best thing to do is use rotos with the white/green tops. These are very effective. The white are called Ice and make your eyes feel amazing. The green tops are just for red eyes.

[Powerup]

SWIM would like to add something he feels is important to his thread -- the gift of information.

It is important to be aware that prolonged or heavy usage of eye drops, specifically those whose active ingredient(s) is/are naphazoline, (and/or) phenylephrine (and/or) tetrahydrozolin, is actually quite damaging to the eyes. These chemicals work to relieve irritation and redness (the latter being the reason that cannabis consumers use eye drops) by constricting blood vessels within the eye. This causes a rebound effect: when someone stops using the drops or their effects wear off, the vessels in the eye can dilate more than usual, creating a new reddish tint and sometimes causing irritation. If the drops are used for years or are used heavily, this dilation can become permanent.

Further, use of eye drops can increase the risk of developing eye diseases and can hide from the user symptoms of more serious problems such as glaucoma (although, hey, the use of cannabis should help with that anyway).

All of this is not to say that occasional or minor use of eye drops is especially harmful -- SWIM just wants to put the information out there for consideration.

	Yes good complementary information
	couldnt agree more, use eye drops for emergencies only
	great information here, a real eye-opener

[FlashGear]

SWIM uses the ones from 'boots' UK stores, Works perfectly for getting rid of 'red-eye'

not sure on that brand. at least the boots ones look fully official and nice lol

[Holyweed]

It's funny but when swim smokes swim's eyes very rarely get red, they get small but never red.
