Why Your “Redness Relief” Eye Drops Aren’t Helping

Redness. Itchiness. Occasional blurriness. Irritation—like something’s in your eye all the time.

Suddenly, all you can think about is the fact that you have eyes. And they are angry. So you’ve been reaching for products that promise fast relief. Who wouldn’t? Dry eye is absolutely miserable!

But if you’re like most people, you now have a drugstore-sized collection of over-the-counter (OTC) eye drops. You’ve tried every “all-in-one,” “fast-acting,” “total comfort” drop out there—and nothing’s helping.

So what gives? Why are you getting only temporary relief, at best?

OTC eye drops simply can’t offer a complete solution.

 1. OTC eye drops simply can’t offer a complete solution.

Tears are a viscoelastic structure. (Viscous fluids don’t flow easily and elastic fluids expand in all directions.) They’re made of three layers, and if the quality or quantity of any of the layers is disrupted, your tear film will be unstable—which is what leads to dry eye symptoms. :

In general, redness relief drops try to counter dry eye symptoms by increasing the amount of either oil or water. Why not both? Because, as you might recall from first-grade science class, oil and water don’t mix.

It’s simply not possible to have an “all-in-one” solution—so the best you can do is try drop after drop after drop until you find something that sorta-kinda works. It’s so frustrating!

2. OTC eye drops work against your body’s natural response to dry eye.

Let’s have a quick (promise!) physiology lesson.

At the first sign of irritation, your eyes complain to your brain—and your brain responds by expanding the tiny blood vessels in your eyes to allow more blood flow and promote natural healing. This process, called vasodilation, makes those blood vessels more visible, which is why dry eyes appear red.

Here’s the problem: The active ingredient in “redness relief” drops is a vasoconstrictor, which means it instructs those blood vessels to clamp down again—preventing the very thing your eyes need to feel and look better. But that’s not all: With extended use, the blood vessels tend to dilate more when the vasoconstrictor wears off. And so you reach for your drops again. And again. And again.

This is called rebound hyperemia, and it sets up your poor eyes for nothing but misery.

3. OTC eye drops can mask the real problem

At best, redness relief drops only treat the symptoms of dry eye without treating the underlying cause.
And because we’re talking about your vision, it’s critical to understand what’s really behind it all.

Dry eye has multiple causes. Some are specific to your eyes, such as wearing contacts or recent LASIK surgery. Others are related to your overall health, such as hormonal changes associated with menopause or certain thyroid conditions. Environmental conditions (hello, Santa Ana winds!) and work requirements (spend much time on a computer?) can also contribute to dry eye.

We know you want to look, feel, and see your best. That’s really tough to do when your eyes are red, irritated, and itchy. Life’s too short to put up with dry eye, and getting relief is easier than you think.

Even if you feel like you’ve tried everything, we can help.

Why Your “Redness Relief” Eye Drops Aren’t Helping (and might actually be hurting)

If you first experience a disaster like dry eye, the fundamental rule and recommendation would be to speak with a skilled ophthalmologist before putting anything in your eyes. Since choosing a treatment requires more pathophysiological understanding than simply purchasing the first eye drops you see.

From reading text messages and menus effortlessly to appreciating the rich colors and textures around them, the stories of these patients highlight the profound impact of successful cataract surgery.

Dr. Arthur Benjamin’s expertise and innovative approach to eye care have not only restored vision but have significantly improved the quality of life for each patient. Their testimonials reveal a common theme of gratitude for the exceptional care and personalized attention they received, emphasizing Dr. Benjamin's kindness, patience, and surgical skill.

Whether they were apprehensive at first or excited about the potential results, each patient’s story is a testament to the transformative possibilities of modern cataract surgery and the dedicated team at Benjamin Eye Institute.

Transforming Lives: Incredible Cataract Surgery Results at Benjamin Eye

Step into the lives of patients who have experienced remarkable vision transformations at Benjamin Eye Institute. Witness firsthand the joy and amazement of patients who, just days after their Cataract Surgery, report feeling like they have "bionic eyes." They describe seeing the world in vivid detail, comparing their enhanced vision to "waking up in a Pixar movie." 





Dry eye syndrome can be a daily struggle, characterized by symptoms like irritation, burning, excessive tearing, and redness. Often, this discomfort is rooted in 

 (MGD), where the glands in your eyelids fail to produce enough oil to keep your eyes lubricated.

Forma I is one half of the dynamic EnVision duo. It utilizes bipolar radiofrequency (RF) technology to specifically target the symptoms of dry eye disease caused by MGD. Here's how it works:

The Power of Lumecca I - Your IPL Solution:

, stands out due to its higher light intensity. This intensified light penetrates deeper into the skin's layers, making it exceptionally effective for managing dry eye caused by inflammation, including ocular rosacea and demodex infestations. Lumecca I distinguishes itself from conventional IPL in several ways:

A single Lumecca I treatment can lead to a remarkable improvement in your skin. The best results typically manifest four to six weeks after treatment. Depending on your specific concerns, our experts may recommend a series of sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Lumecca I treatments are quick, typically lasting from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the target area and the severity of the condition. This makes the process straightforward and time-effective, even for the busiest of patients.

EnVision by InMode represents a significant leap in dry eye treatment. By addressing the underlying causes of dry eye and inflammation, it offers you a chance at lasting relief and an improved quality of life.

With Forma I and Lumecca I, we've enhanced our ability to provide you with a highly precise and effective solution for dry eye. We invite you to experience the future of dry eye care at Benjamin Eye Institute, where your eye health and comfort are our top priorities.

At Benjamin Eye Institute, we're thrilled to present EnVision. This incredible device combines Forma 1 and Lumecca I applicators for exceptional dry eye relief.

Un pago único por el procedimiento puede ser un desafío para ti. No te preocupes, ofrecemos varias opciones para que esto no se convierta en un obstáculo para una mejor visión:

La FSA reduce los impuestos. La contribución que haces a la FSA se deduce de tus impuestos ANTES de que las autoridades fiscales o los impuestos de la Seguridad Social calculen todo, y estas contribuciones no se informan al IRS. El beneficio significa una reducción en el ingreso imponible por un lado y un aumento en el ingreso disponible por el otro, lo que puede ahorrarte cientos o miles de dólares al año.



Al comienzo de tu plan anual, tu empleador pregunta cuánto dinero quieres poner en una cuenta flexible de gastos. Y cada año solo tienes una oportunidad para hacerlo (excepto por algunos eventos como matrimonio, dar a luz, divorcio o cancelación del seguro de tu cónyuge). La cantidad que has invertido se retira de tu cheque de pago en cuotas mensuales iguales y se coloca en una cuenta especial. Cuando tengas gastos médicos que no estén completamente cubiertos por el seguro, envías una carta de explicación de beneficios o factura del proveedor a tu administrador y te proporcionarán una compensación.




Cualquiera de los gastos médicos que se consideren deducibles por el IRS y no estén cubiertos por tu seguro pueden ser cubiertos a través de la FSA. Esto incluye algunos tratamientos, anteojos y recetas.

 method, which we offer among other solutions, is a genuine innovation in ophthalmology. If the function of the gland located at the eyelid edges is impaired, its secretions thicken. This causes clotting in the eye drainage system and results in dryness. The gland itself is not able to create enough pressure to push through these clots.

El método LipiFlow, que ofrecemos entre otras soluciones, es una verdadera innovación en oftalmología. Si la función de la glándula ubicada en los bordes de los párpados está deteriorada, sus secreciones se espesan. Esto causa coagulación en el sistema de drenaje del ojo y resulta en sequedad. La glándula en sí no es capaz de crear suficiente presión para empujar a través de estos coágulos.

El dispositivo LipiFlow calienta el párpado para que los coágulos se derritan y la glándula se decante. El procedimiento es absolutamente seguro y no tiene riesgos. Está aprobado por la FDA y proporciona un alivio duradero para los ojos secos.

Для начала мы делаем сканирование глаз (Lipiscan), которое показывает состояние ваших желез.

Метод LipiFlow, который мы практикуем в числе прочих решений, — это революционная новинка в офтальмологии. При дисфункции железы, расположенной по краям века, ее выделения густеют, что нарушает дренажную систему глаза и вызывает сухость. Сама железа не может создать напор, чтобы протолкнуть эти сгустки.

Аппарат LipiFlow нагревает веко так, что сгустки расплавляются и происходит сцеживание железы. Процедура безболезненная, скорее приятная и с нулевым риском. Она одобрена FDA и дает длительное облегчение от сухости глаз.

OptiLight от Lumenis — другая неинвазивная, одобренная FDA, процедура на основе точных импульсов света, который лечит воспалительные процессы, такие как розацеа, ведущие к сухости глаз. OptiLight значительно улучшает функциональность желез и свойства слезы.

Обе эти процедуры делаются в офисе, великолепно работают в комбинации и дают омолаживающий эффект. Вначале д-р Бенджамин «прокачивает» ваши железы с помощью Lipiflow, а чтобы они снова не забивались сгустками, делает OptiLight. Цель лечения – вернуть вас в ту фазу, когда вам не были нужны ни капли от сухости глаз, ни теплые компрессы.
