If you suspect you have conjunctivitis, please do not fool around with it too long - like any other infection if allowed to develop unchecked it can do serious damage, it is possible that your eyes could be permanently affected.  The first time I got it I was on a road trip, thought my eyes were just irritated by the wind blowing my hair constantly into them but after 2 days my mother in law took me to the hospital because it was so bad, the doctor told me that I had run a real risk of losing my eyesight permanently if I had not come in to have it treated.  The treatment is antibiotic drops and/or cream (I had to use both), available only by prescription.

If visine *FOR REDNESS* doesn't work, then you have a problem and should go to the doctor.  My mom had that actually and they gave her this prescription eyedrop stuff, so she made more tears...I think it's called Restasis or something.\n\nHere are a few causes of red eyes...\n\n    * Conjunctivitis\n    * Hangover\n    * Marijuana - a form of cannabis\n    * Cannabis\n    * Eye infection (see Eye symptoms)\n    * Chlorinated swimming pool\n    * Eye rubbing\n    * Pinkeye\n    * Keratitis\n    * Keratopathy\n    * Iritis\n    * Acute iritis\n    * Glaucoma\n    * Acute glaucoma\n    * Subconjunctival hemorrhage\n    * Allergies\n    * Pollen allergy\n    * Fever\n    * Virus\n    * Common cold\n    * Flu\n    * Scleritis\n    * Episcleritis\n    * Meningitis \n\nThere are also better eyedrops than Visine called Collyre Bleu de Laiter, which makes the white part of your eyes whiter and the colorful part (i don't know the name of it) bluer.  They're only sold in Quebec, Canada, but you can call this number to find out how else to buy them. 450-646-9760.\n\nHope that helps.

Chlorine can cause major eye damage in it's concentrated form. However, in pool water chloring is highly diluted and will not burn your eyes. The american redcross gives tips on pool safety, and the only one regarding eye protection is to protect your eyes from UV sun exposure. Based upon this information I would say that the suns UV rays have a much greater potential for eye damage than diluted chlorine.

Contrary to popular belief; visine is BAD for the eyes. The eyes become inflammed as the body's natural defense system; to cause the eyes to tear & flush out the irritant. Visine hinders this natural process.\nYes, it's bad.

Nothing at all should happen as long as you took the contacts out fairly quickly and washed them.\n\nIf not, and they aren't one day disposables, you may have to get them checked by an optician as the chemicals in the medication may affect the lens

Go to your eye doctor and get tested.

Eye drops should only go in the eyes.  If you happen to get some into your food or drink, it can be dangerous.  For more details, see the answer I posted on your more-recent question.

I find using eyedrops, such as Visine, helps. That, or rinsing your eyes with water.

If you looked into it for a long period of time, you might have some damage; however, if it flashes into your eye briefly, it's nothing to worry about.  By comparison, looking at the sun would be a LOT worse for your eyes.

Viagra has been associated with blindness in a small number of cases. Pfizer, the manufacturer, says that there is no connection, but they have added a warning about rare instances of vision loss.\n\nI suspect that there is a small increased risk of vision loss, and that it is connected to some other risk factors that aren't necessarily identified yet. But, I am not a physician, and like everything medical, talk with your physician and a pharmacist about this issue.

It has been know to yes, any excessive amount of drugs can. It is highly unlikely, but my girlfriend got afew from caffeine. They were dormate, and did not do any damage, and actually wound up going away as she weened herself off of caffeine.
