Methylene Blue in the eye
-
Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has experience with applying methylene blue 1% or diluted directly on their eyes? I've read a case study in which injection of methylene blue causes edema, scaring and blindness.
https://www.scielo.br/j/abo/a/spP6W8ZHpkRdNk7wKyk6YmP/?lang=en&format=pdfThere are also popular eyedrops in France that have methylene blue as an active ingredient. There were other case studies studying the side effects of eyedrops such as these but could be due to other ingredients.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2624913/My goal is to whiten my sclera and reduce vascularization. I ordered some eyedrops from Poland that have Vitamin A and E and will update on their effectiveness. Also looked into an Italian product that has b-vitamins. American eyedrops, besides perhaps anti-histamine, are completely useless garbage.

No idea, but doesn't Vitamin E have the capability of lowering melanin? I think it's possible methylene blue could also lower melanin indirectly. Would be really curious if these affect your eye color in any way.

@onliest you know what you must do. for science.

@RandomUser Looks like vitamin E inhibits tyrosinase. I have blue-green eyes already. I'll lyk if I get A10s lol.

@samson Not tryna go blind. I wonder what concentration commercial eyedrops with methylene blue use. I'd wager it's a lot lower than 1%.

Friend, it is not that deep!
