Reversing Rebound Hyperemia?

Reversing Rebound Hyperemia?

I had been a been an everday user of OTC vasoconstrictors for several years. about a week ago I quit cold turkey, and my eyes are starting to look a LITTLE bit better. However, they get very dry now and when they get very dry they get very red. I have very visible red veins streaking throughout my eyes. I have been treated for dry eyes with little help. I've tried systane, plugs, and restasis for about 5 months with little to no help. The systane drops work for about 5 minutes and then my eyes are dry and red again.

Is it possible I developed dry eyes from overuse of visine? is Rebound Hyperemia treatable or will my eyes always be red from now on?

You have to determine the cause of the redness.  See an EyeMD.
