Lumify is used to temporarily relieve eye redness due to minor eye irritation, such as from allergies, fatigue, or environmental factors. It is not intended to treat underlying eye conditions or infections.
Lumify contains brimonidine tartrate, an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist that causes vasoconstriction (narrowing) of the blood vessels in the conjunctiva (white part of the eye), reducing visible redness for up to 8 hours.
For topical ophthalmic use only. Do not use if solution changes color or becomes cloudy. Patients with certain conditions (heart disease, depression, circulation problems) should consult a doctor before use. Do not exceed recommended frequency of use, as rebound redness may occur with overuse. Remove contact lenses before application and wait 10 minutes before reinserting.
