Red Eyes?

[MissVapor]

Not sure if this is related or not, but since using my e cig, I've noticed my eyes will get red/bloodshot especially around my iris's..

Has this happened to you? Let me know because if you have got red eyes, there is a good possibility it is related, if not I will consider other possibilities, but it seemed strange to me..

Thanks

PG is known to irritate eyes if the vapor gets into them in any quantity. You're not trying to French inhale and sucking vapor up to your eyes, are you?

Probably no connection from inhaling it, however. No one else has reported that in the past year.

My eyes have been red a lot lately too.

But I don't know if it is from vaping or from reading through this forum every night since I started.

I've been vaping for about 12 days now, converted a fellow co-worker. Spent almost as much money as I pay for a months rent but I love it. I tried a cig last night and it was so nasty... ugh.

This forum is such a wonderful source of information.

I am so glad you asked this question because I wondered the same thing. My eyes are also extremely dry.

So, maybe there is a link here? My sister keeps asking why my eyes are red and I have no idea b/c they aren't itchy and they don't hurt. Ill try closing my eyes when I exhale and see if it helps..

I've had no problem since I started vaping in February.

Are you using lenses? I do remember someone having to moisten those more often, or with a thicker gel or something?

Other possibilities:
- getting some liquid onto your hands/fingers, then without thinking rubbing your eyes?
- when you stop smoking tobacco, one of the side-effects can be that, for some time (couple of months to half a year) any allergies get worse (after that, they often get less then when you were smoking; but first there is a spike upwards) - could it be this?

I don't use lenses. but rubbing my eyes is a possibility..I've been closing my eyes tonight to see how they react in a few hrs.
I hope my allergies don't get worse, Im already allergic to lobster, shrimp. uncooked apples, cherries, pears, peaches, blueberries, carrots, sno peas and soymilk.
Those allergies started 4 yrs ago after my 2nd child was born and Im not even sure of all the uncooked food Im allergic to yet. the list keeps growing..

This is the likely cause. The liquid will not wipe from you hands easily due to it lipophillic base. Use soap and water. Avoid touching your face. Consider VG.
