    Yeah... I understand. I think they can make things worse over time. Maybe try out some artificial tears. Those are different from visine and clear eyes just in that they are primarily lubricating. If it gets worse I would definitely go back to the doctor.

    Well, MM is supposed to relieve eye pressure and is known to be helpful to conditions such as Glaucoma which is caused by intraocular pressure. Have you tried using eye drops to remove the redness? Do you have allergies? Perhaps you should explain the redness and throbbing to your...
