Default Getting the Red Out

This is sort of an attempt to move the thread in MEthods of Use regarding eyedrops over to this forum, where we can discuss conjunctival management as a whole, freely.
Regarding eyedrops, whether they help get your eyes "white," or unfortunately make them more "RED," is a matter of personal experience. Intuitively I would think that eyedrops would always help, but intuitively I know I am sometimes wrong. Someone commented on the eyedrops making your eyes burn and sting which only makes them more "RED"--I've found that sometimes they do make my eyes sting but even so, they end up more white, despite stinging and tearing initially. So for me, the drops only whiten. As an aside, I generally wait at least 5 minutes after putting in drops to be seen by other people (if I'm trying to go stealth), if I have the luxury of some private time.
I agree as well that inserting eyedrops AFTER, or even BEFORE, you smoke, will be equally effective.
What is not so clear is the role of alternative methods of eye-"whitening". One that I've tried to study over the years is the role of a shower after you're high to try to whiten the eyes. The hypothesis is that at least part of the conjunctival injection and erythema after smoking is due to excessive surface dryness. I believe that steam in the shower rehydrates the eyes directly, minimizing red eyes. Though, I don't trust this method enough to rely on it alone; I usuallly still use the eyedrops.
And lastly, does eating pot give red eyes too? I've found that for me it really doesn't, but who knows?

Default hmmm

well ,I use Visene if I want to get the red out

It has always worked for me , never failed me . I only use it if I have to because of the fact that ( for me ) it seems to take away from the high a little because after I use it my eyes don't feel as droopy and stoned .

I don't think your eyes get quite as red ( or red at all ) when you eat it , it's a different high completely when eaten . More of a body high , then a head high .
