I used Visine for Contacts for 2-3 weeks with no problems. I was using them in the morning when I put my contacts in and again in the afternoon after getting home from work. Then, one day I used them twice in the morning (a few hours apart) and it caused an allergic reaction. The extra Visine that ran down my cheek left a mark that was very red. About 15 minutes after this happened, I started feeling dizzy and had trouble breathing. My heart also started beating very fast and my fingers felt tingly and numb.
My husband took me to the doctor and I was feeling better by the time I got there, but from the symptoms he said it definitely sounded like an allergic reaction.
