Red Eyes?

[scrubadub]

I've had trouble with red eyes and I'm fairly certain it's to do with rubbing them. It was particularly bad when I had the first gen Dura which had a lot of problems with leaking carts. I've always assumed the problem was more to do with rubbing nicotine in the eye than the PG though.

Well, I have been through all the liquids..PG, PEG and VG liquids and still have a reaction of red dry eyes...

I don't even use nicotine liquids anymore and it is still happening...I can go a whole day without vaping and my eyes will still be irratated from the night before..

I add drops to moisturize them but it only helps temporarily...

Anyone else having eye issues!!??

For the first time in my life I have dry eyes. I have to put drops in my eyes everyday.
I have said this before on here. I do not know if vaping is causing this. I went to the eye doctor complaining about my eyes. Some days it is worst than others.
In the morning when I wake up my eyes are red. So yes,dry red eye problem here.

Cigarettes themselves are processed using Pg to keep them moist during the manufacturing process of the tobacco leaf. So, as a smoker you have dealt with PG and VG throughout the years of smoking. I would venture to say that the only outcome at this point that can be happening is some of the liquid that made contact with your fingers is making is way into your eyes by rubbing them, like Doc said. I don't really know what to tell you except ... maybe try to only wipe your eyes ith a tissue or clean rag the next time that you feel you ned to rub them. See if that helps.

No, Im not getting any liquid in my eyes..I wish it was as simple as that..maybe it has something to do with the metal part of the atomizer and not the liquid at all? There are so many factors who knows..it may be as simple as the flavoring as well..

My mother got visibly pink/red eyes when she spent any amount of time in the closed-off room where I was vaping during the holidays at home. (I vape 50-70% PG mixtures.) So I can believe it might be due to the PG, or, the combination of PG's drying/irritation effect on eyes and the unbelievable dryness indoors during winter.

Try some lubricating eye drops, and more ventilation/air circulation in the room(s) you vape in?

(I don't know if VG will aide the issue. Given all the other allergies you have, you might have a PG issue - in people with a lot of sensitivities, it's more like a 5% rate instead of a 2.5% rate from the data I've seen.)

Dry eyes here also Especially if I've been vaping in the car with the windows rolled up I use lube eye drops couple times a day Also get dry skin around my nose/eyes I believe it's due to the vape clouds Love the clouds however I use pg with about 10-20% vg

I do use drops everyday now....it got so bad at one point when I was using PEG liquid I had to go to the eye doctor

none of the liquids I use have pg in it..I only use VG liquids with non pg flavoring, but like I said before it has happend with PG , PEG and VG

I also have developed red eyes after vaping for a month. Sometimes I would have bloodshot eyes in the morning when I smoked analogs. It disappeared for about a week after I started to vape, but now red eyes have returned with a vengence, the problem is not solved with eye drops.

I am careful not to get liquid in my eyes by rubbing them. I am going to make a conscious effort to blow the smoke firmly away and see if that helps.
