FAQs

The LUMIFY brand began in 2018 with the U.S. introduction of LUMIFY redness reliever eye drops, which significantly reduce redness to help eyes look whiter & brighter. In 2023, Bausch + Lomb expanded the brand in the United States by introducing LUMIFY Eye Illuminations, a line of specialty eye care products specifically developed for the sensitive eye area.

LUMIFY Eye Illuminations is a new line of specialty eye care products scientifically developed for the sensitive eye area by experts at Bausch + Lomb.

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 is the active ingredient in LUMIFY. Low dose brimonidine selectively constricts the veins in the eye as opposed to arteries thereby providing effective redness relief with low incidence of side effects associated with other redness relievers when used as directed. Brimonidine is NOT a bleach or a dye.

In clinical trials, LUMIFY provided significant redness reduction for up to 8 hours.

LUMIFY has been approved for distribution by the FDA after review of our clinical trial program, in which six clinical studies were conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of LUMIFY (brimonidine tartrate, 0.025%) in relieving ocular redness.

How long the bottle lasts will depend on how frequently you use it. Once eye drops have been opened, they risk being contaminated with bacteria. Therefore, it is recommended that you throw away any opened bottles of eye drops after 3 months, even if the expiration date is later. You also should never share eye drops - eye infections can be spread this way.

Instill one drop in each eye that needs it every 6-8 hours. Don’t use 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 experiencing eye redness due to minor irritations. If pregnant or breast-feeding, ask a healthcare professional before use.

For adults and children 5 years of age and over:

- instill 1 drop in the affected eye(s) every 6-8 hours
- do not use more than 4 times daily
- remove contact lenses before use
- wait at least 10 minutes before re-inserting contact lenses after use
- if using other ophthalmic products while using this product, wait at least 5 minutes between each product
- to avoid contamination, do not touch tip of container to any surface
- replace the bottle cap after each use
- if you are using a single use dispenser, discard dispenser immediately after use

- For children under 5 years of age, consult your doctor.

The active ingredient in LUMIFY is brimonidine tartrate (0.025%). The inactive ingredients in LUMIFY are: benzalkonium chloride, boric acid, calcium chloride dihydrate, glycerin, potassium chloride, sodium borate decahydrate, sodium chloride, water for injection. Hydrochloric acid and/or sodium hydroxide may be used to adjust pH.

In clinical trials, LUMIFY was proven to be safe and effective when used as directed. LUMIFY works differently than other redness relievers by selectively targeting redness with a reduced risk of side effects associated with other redness relievers, including rebound redness and loss of efficacy over time. In clinical trials, a small number of people reported itching, foreign body sensation, tearing and pain which were temporary and mild to moderate in severity. We ask that you report any concerns with Bausch + Lomb Products via phone at 800-553-5340. Always be sure to follow the directions for use on the package when using LUMIFY.

LUMIFY should only be used to relieve red eyes due to minor eye irritations.
