    Mine are so red, I look stoned! I'd probably be arrested if I was pulled over while riding.

    For me, it's allergies. I use Similisan Allergy Drops - they're homeopathic and great.

    +1 For allergies. Mine will get bloodshot for days and sometimes I am not having any other allergy symptoms (sneezing, etc). When it happens it is very painful. I have allergy eye drops and switched to daily wear contacts, problem seems to be solved.

    Have you tried Bausch and Lomb Opcon-A eye drops? It reduces redness, watering and irritation due to allergies. I use it during pollen season.

    I've not, but I've tended to avoid anything that's not homeopathic. What can you tell me about it?

    The problem with Similisan is cost - $6 to $9/bottle that only has a 30 day shelf life after opening.

    It has an anti-histamine and decongestant to constrict the blood vessels and remove the redness in the eyes. The anti-histamine helps with itchy eyes. It has a shelf life of at least a year. It is available over the counter at drug stores.

    I really like this eye drop and I don't want to be without it during peak allergy season.

    I've tried to avoid things that constrict the vessels...is that the same thing that Visine does? I find short term relief, but long term dependence which makes me uncomfortable.

    Me too...


    Only after about 90 minutes riding though.
    Partly allergy, partly that I am a delicate little blossom

    "I will try again tomorrow".
