Re: bloodshot eyes... please help--YES, it's the tobi

[Guest guest]

Yes, we figured it out, by the time I got all your responses. I

forgot to say that is wasn't viral, bacterial or allergic b/c no

itching, effusion or anything like that (and he has been allergy

tested for like 30 things, and all negative). He uses a pari lc..

but the tobi makes such a big cloud, I'm pretty sure that is what is

making his eyes red. we are going to use a ceiling fan during his

treatments to try to reduce the amount that gets into his eyes. It

sounds like a mask wouldn't help, which is good to know, b/c we were

considering that.
