Risk of dependence with frequent use

What the gurus are saying

Visine works fast on bloodshot eyes, but as the drops wear off, blood vessels dilate even more, leaving eyes redder than before. The rebound effect creates a cycle where users reach for more drops. One-time emergency use before a photo shoot may be defensible, but the gurus who reviewed it caution against regular use, which worsens the problem.

"I always have little Visine bottles in my bag with me at all times. I think this is something because I'm on camera I tend to have some kind of an eye drop with me because if I'm going to do something, even like on Instagram or something like that, my eyes look like they're bloodshot. I want to make sure that they're not looking bloodshot, especially because I'm a tired mom, and so this is always helpful to have."

"There are topical things you can use to cause vasoconstriction of the eyes for bloodshot eyes. I know that not a lot of ophthalmologists like these because they can cause rebound vasodilation and can actually make the bloodshot worse. But Visine is something that does help with that immediate bloodshot eyes. So in a pinch, although not optimal, maybe it's acceptable. I [...] use these occasionally before we shoot, [...] infrequent use, it does help, it does work."
