message: While this is a valid English word, it's, well, weird.  You would never hear someone say "I think I'll go instill some eye drops".  The word apply is more normal, and thus more accessible, so I used that word instead.  If you insist on using "instill", however, I won't fight you on it. StuRat 08:36, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm also not going to fight anyone on it, but that's the actual word used in the directions for some eye drops, eg Bausch and Lomb Opcon A.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.165.136.95 (talk) 23:35, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Use of the word "instill" 

message: "Use will create a rebound after a couple of hours and make the eye look even redder. Prolonged use can permanently dilate blood vessels, so use should be limited to 1 or 2 times."
Someone really needs to add a source for this. Frankly, it sounds retarded. Use should be limited to 1 or 2 times? Um then why does it come in big (relatively speaking) bottles? 1 or 2 times, in what period of time?
If visine really "permanently dilated" blood vessels, there would definitely be a source to back that up.
I vote that nonsense be removed, it is way too crazy to be in the article without any citations.
I changed it to "extendedly," permanently is too harsh of a word without a citation, I agree. 76.183.208.237 (talk) 04:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

1 to 2 times over what period of time?  And what's the source on permanent dilation?  This whole bullet should be clarified or deleted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 204.15.30.104 (talk) 05:19, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

i dont know who came up with this BS but its pure fiction
:: Hi, this is most certainly not fiction. Visine is an adulterant. There is medical research readily available (from multiple sources) that states university studies have proven 100ml/l of Visine in a THC-laden urine sample will create false negative results in drugs-of-abuse immunoassays, as well as in some gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) confirmation tests. If you Google the terms "visine drug test" you will come up with the actual results of the research. This article is a good start as well: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3230/is_2_35/ai_97994966
:: Right or wrong is really not the point, the fact of the matter is there is more evidence to prove it true than to categorically say that it is false. ;) As to whether or not it is relevant is a completely separate issue, although it's important to note that a number of product listings in Wikipedia do offer home-remedy myths/uses, which would be about as relevant/irrelevant as Visine's affects on drug-testing.
