[Zane]

Any updates on this eye drop?

No update. We are waiting for a 2016 launch. jj. What is wrong with your eyes. Are you able to determine where the redness is coming from?

He's a well known American dry eye doctor. He wrote a popular book on the topic. I don't know other than it's supposed to come out next year, sorry :-/ I think I might also have emailed that other doctor, and also not had a response. At least I emailed some doctor who had done a presentation at some medical conference, that I found the notes for online, than mentioned Luminesse as one of the new things coming up, but I'm not sure if it was the same person or not. Dr Latkeny referred to some 'other meds' but that would also not be available until at least 2016, but he didn't clarify. But he said he expects to prescribe Luminesse drops to some of his patients for redness problems.

I hope they're good too. I'd also seen they'll be called Luminesse, and Dr Latkany confirmed to me he expects to be making use of them. He said there are also some other new redness meds coming through, but he wasn't clear about what or when

Oliver, who is Dr Latkany? Ive reached out to Dr. Gerald Horn, who is behind Luminesse. Still no response. Do you have any idea of when we will see this drop. Im dying to know if we're lucky enough to have it early 2016

So this Eye Whitening Drop we've been waiting for is scheduled to be available OTC in 2016. As of now, the drop is called Luminesse.

Over the past year my eyes had a few month stretch where my scleras where relatively white. Eventually the redness came back slowly. All i can say is Pataday is the only drop that i notice a difference. But soon we should have this Luminesse Drop. Im coming in on my 7th year with this issue. Really hope this is the answer we've been looking for.

That's good Zane, thanks. I live in France (and work in Monaco), I wonder if it would be available here... Or otherwise, maybe in the UK, where I go from time to time.

[Zane]

Vassy! yes..just a half a year/year left.

Oliver, im sure that dr was referring to this drop. I have an ophthalmologist in the family who has brought this up as well.

As for the redness/dryness, we are all suffering. Good Luck figuring out a way to cope.

This sounds good??? I recently exchanged a couple of emails with Dr Latkany of www.dryeyedoctor.com asking him if he had any thoughts regarding whitening surgery (as I had seen him quoted a couple of years ago saying he was researching it). He told me it's dangerous and the FDA is going to ban it in America, but he said there are some new meds for redness in development. Do you think he meant these ones?

Hi, by the way, I just joined this forum, as I have concerns about dryness/redness. I tried an ordinary vasoconsrictor drop ONCE and it made the redness permanently worse than it was. Don't know why Murphy's Law always seems to apply to me

[vassy1000]

I am a sufferer as well. keep in there

drops should be in the market in 2016

Any update on this drop? I'm a red eye sufferer, 23 year old male, who needs help. It seems that I have some permanent veins on the ear side of both of my eyes, and eyelids are usually red from blepharitis...currently on antibiotic ointment and FML drops

[Zane]

Ok so i did a little bit of searching, and just to confirm what Tim has said..the brimonidine eye whitener drop is expected to launch in 2016.
