Have any of you experienced the whites of your eyes changing colors? What did you do to help it, if anything? Did it work?

Alcohol. The bane of human existence. I work at a bar and it's really sad seeing my younger collegues drink more and more each week. I notice their eyes turning a bit more yellow over time. It's not attractive at all and it's sad how people don't realise how damaging alcohol can be.

I live in Africa and here there is so much fine dust in the air and everywhere. My eyes have always been decent white. Then I noticed that people who go out often or people who drive bikes have red/yellowish eyes. I noticed my cousins who don't go out often have very clear eyes.
Now I'm pretty sure the huge dust cause some kind of irritation/inflammation where overtime the eye becomes more and more red/yellowish.
Since a month I have been rainsing my eyes with plain clean bottled water 3 times a day. Just a small amount of water to remove that dust that can be sleeping in the eyes. And... I have already noticed my eyes are slightly clearer, wow! I can defintely see the improvement in pictures too.

what is the best and simple way to make our brown eyes becoming white and bright

From HS, I've had slightly reddish eyes. I went to HS on a Caribbean Island and wondered if this might have been caused by the sun and/or proximity to sea water. I asked an eye doctor and he advised it was PIGMENTS. I am a dark-skinned man. Another suggested I might have dry eye. Otherwise, my eyesight is fairly good at 62. I used to work at a hotel's front desk overnight and a guest made a complaint about me including a reference to my "bloodshot" eyes. I didn't know if my eyes were especially bloodshot that night or if he was responding to how my eyes normally look. In any case, he was clearly casting aspersions and I was deeply offended - especially considering how ludicrous his complaint was.

Makeup is wreaking hell on inflammation in and around my eyes. I’m so sick of trying things Dr. I thought fragrance free would have been the source but no. I cannot figure out what is causing it. Removers for the eyes are unbearable. So I use Vaseline and I’m sure that’s prob not good either but idk what else. If anyone relates please drop me a comment. Thanks Dr!!! Appreciate your time to help us!

Fabulous yet again Dr. Rupa.
Like many others....so thankful for your wisdom.

The lumify drops work for the kind of cloudy redness in the eyes and can soften some of those lines but don't get rid of the lines. Does anyone know how to actually get rid of the lines?
I'm 26 and my eyes were perfectly white up until about 24 and a half and now it's hard not to be insecure about it. Eye doctor says that my vision is fine and no diseases.

Love your hair color! Love that I've found your channel

[teri]

Wow, interesting! Your hair is gorgeous, btw. I love the color 🙂

[Elijah-fcex]

I have permanent red veins from contact usage, there is no cure besides dangerous surgery. It's actually quite depressing. I always look high or tired and there's nothing I can do. Lumify has BAK as a preservative that is very hard on the eyes if used long term.
