LUMIFY EYE DROPS
LUMIFY is an eye drop that can be used for eye redness relief caused by minor eye irritations.
LUMIFY can be used with contacts but be sure to take them out before putting LUMIFY in your eyes. Wait 10 minutes before putting your contacts back in after use of LUMIFY.
Yes, but you’ll want to wait at least 5 minutes between products.
No. LUMIFY is available over the counter without a prescription. Find it in the eye care aisle at most major retailers.
-LUMIFY is FDA approved and is the first and only over the counter eye drop to contain the active ingredient brimonidine tartrate (0.025%).
-LUMIFY works differently than other redness relievers on the market by selectively targeting redness and in clinical trials was safe and effective when used as directed.
Occasional eye redness, sometimes referred to as “blood shot”, is a common condition that can be caused by minor eye irritation. Common causes include environmental allergens, excessive use of digital devices, lack of sleep, or dry and/or dusty conditions.
Brimonidine Tartrate 0.025% is a selective alpha-2 adrenergic agonist used to relieve eye redness. It works by constricting veins (venules) instead of arteries (arterioles), which reduces redness with a lower risk of rebound redness than older vasoconstrictors. It provides fast relief and can be used as directed for safe, effective redness reduction. It is not a bleach or a dye, but a medication that targets the natural vascular response in the eye.
In clinical trials, LUMIFY provided significant redness reduction for up to 8 hours.
Yes. LUMIFY is FDA-approved as an over-the-counter (OTC) redness-relief medication. The FDA reviewed data from six clinical studies demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of Brimonidine Tartrate 0.025% for reducing ocular redness. FDA approval confirms that the product meets strict standards for safety, efficacy, manufacturing quality, and label accuracy.
How long the multi-dose bottle lasts depends on how frequently you use it. Once the eye drops have been opened, they risk being contaminated with the normal bacteria that live on your eyelids. Therefore, it is recommended that you throw away any opened multi-dose bottles of eye drops after 3 months, regardless of the expiration date. You should also never share eye drops - eye infections can spread this way. LUMIFY Preservative Free, which comes in single-use vials, should be discarded immediately after use.
Instill one drop in each eye that needs it every 6-8 hours. Don’t use LUMIFY more than 4 times a day. As with other OTC redness relievers, you should stop use and ask a doctor if you experience eye pain, changes in vision, redness or irritation that worsens or lasts more than 72 hours (3 days).
LUMIFY is for anyone 5 years of age and over who experience eye redness due to minor eye irritations. If pregnant or breast-feeding, ask a healthcare professional before use.

- Changes in vision/blurriness

Why LUMIFY is different: The brimonidine mechanism of action targets veins instead of arteries, which reduces redness with a lower risk of rebound redness or loss of effectiveness over time.

- condition worsens or persists for more than 72 hours (3 days).

LUMIFY EYE DROPS - PRESERVATIVE FREE
-LUMIFY is available in two formulations.
-The preserved formula comes in a multi-dose bottle that contains a small concentration of preservatives, just half the FDA allowable limit. These preservatives are essential for minimizing the risk of bacterial contamination and ensuring safety over the product’s shelf life.
-The preservative-free formulation is provided in single-use vials, which may be more suitable for individuals who have sensitivities or allergies to preservatives.
-To find out which product may be best for you, please speak with your eye doctor.
The original formula of LUMIFY is preserved with a low concentration of benzalkonium chloride. LUMIFY is also available in a preservative free formulation.
-LUMIFY Preservative Free is available in single-use vials within a child-resistant carton, to meet certain regulatory requirements, which mandate child-resistant packaging to ensure safety. Although multi-dose preservative free bottles are available for other products, they do not offer the necessary child-resistant features that are required for LUMIFY.
-LUMIFY includes the active ingredient brimonidine, which is not in our other preservative free OTC formulations. Brimonidine can cause adverse effects if accidentally ingested. Therefore, to meet regulatory requirements for brimonidine and to ensure patient safety, LUMIFY is packaged exclusively in single-use vials with child-resistant packaging.
LUMIFY Preservative Free may be more suitable for individuals who have sensitivities or allergies to preservatives. Talk to your eye doctor to determine which formula of LUMIFY is right for you.
LUMIFY is not indicated for children under the age of 5. If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a health professional before use.
In clinical trials, a small number of people reported eye dryness, which was temporary and mild to moderate in severity. We ask that you report any concerns with LUMIFY or any other Bausch + Lomb product by calling1-800-553-5340. Always be sure to follow the directions for use on the package when using LUMIFY.
Consult your eye doctor before using LUMIFY after cataract surgery.
Consult your eye doctor before using LUMIFY after lasik.
If you have glaucoma, you should consult your eye doctor before using LUMIFY. LUMIFY contains a low dose of brimonidine, which is also used in certain prescription medications to lower intraocular pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma.
To ensure the safety of our consumers, LUMIFY Preservative Free comes in a child-resistant carton. To open it, press the purple tabs labeled “PRESS & HOLD” on both sides of the carton while pushing up the purple tray from the bottom of the carton. These instructions are also included on the side of the carton.
-LUMIFY redness reliever eye drops (multi-dose bottle): The carton can be recycled with cardboard in your local municipal recycling program. The LUMIFY bottle is too small to be processed by local recycling programs, so it can be recycled through our ONE by ONE recycling program. This program properly recycles eye care items such as our eye drop bottles so they don’t end up in our environment. Learn more here
-LUMIFY Preservative Free (single-use vials): All components of LUMIFY Preservative free, including the carton, vials, and foil pouches, can be recycled through our ONE by ONE recycling program. Learn more here
In clinical trials, the original, preserved formula of LUMIFY was proven safe and well-tolerated. However, some people have a known sensitivity to the preservatives used in eye drops in which case LUMIFY Preservative Free may be a preferable option. Talk to your eye doctor to determine which formula of LUMIFY is right for you.
Preservatives are commonly used in eye drops to prevent bacterial contamination. Our preservative free formulation comes in convenient single-use vials in order to maintain the sterility of the product.
LUMIFY Preservative Free single-use vials are intended for one-time use only. Each vial is to be used once in each eye during a single session and must be discarded immediately after use, even if there is product left in the vial. Because these eye drops do not contain any preservatives, reusing an opened vial or storing it for later use can increase the risk of bacterial contamination and potentially lead to eye infections. Never share or reuse the vial.
For most users, the single-dose vial will contain a slightly larger volume of product than is needed for both eyes. Because of the vial's small size, we fill it to a specific volume to ensure that each eye receives a full drop as well as to account for any product that may adhere to or remain in the vial.
In clinical trials, when used as directed, LUMIFY eye drops showed virtually no rebound redness. Unlike many other redness relievers that can cause rebound redness, LUMIFY works differently by selectively targeting redness without limiting the flow of oxygen to the eye
If redness persists for more than 72 hours while using LUMIFY, stop use and consult an eye care professional to evaluate and treat the underlying cause of the redness
If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying LUMIFY and wait at least 10 minutes before reinserting them. If you use other ophthalmic eye drops or ointments, wait at least 5 minutes between LUMIFY and each additional product
How long the multi-dose bottle lasts depends on how frequently you use it. Once the eye drops have been opened, they risk being contaminated with the normal bacteria that live on your eyelids. Therefore, it is recommended that you throw away any opened multi-dose bottles of eye drops after 3 months, regardless of the expiration date. You should also never share eye drops - eye infections can spread this way. LUMIFY Preservative Free, which comes in single-use vials, should be discarded immediately after use.
