This idea occured to me today when I was driving home after running some errands this morning. Last night, due to an unplanned adventure, I was deprived of sleep. As often happens, I later suffered from dry, itchy eyes. I contemplated using Visine to reduce the dryness. Then I thought that if Visine
contained caffeine, I could relieve my tired eyes and wake myself for a bit at the same time. Since caffeinated water is widely available, I suspect it wouldn't be a difficult operation.
I am also operating on the assumption that caffiene will be easily absorbed into the blood stream through the blood vessels of the eyes.

Why not look on the floor for your glasses? [reensure, May 27 2002]

My dictionary defines caffeine as "a bitter white alkaloid, C8H10N4O2-H20..." The "bitter" part makes me think I "better" not put this in my eyes. |

New: *Decaffeinated* Visine! All the soothing comfort you need without the harmful caffeine contained in *some* eyedrops. Now only $439.95 per 1.5 fl. oz. container. |

Mighty Eye-Tea?
Eye Coffee?
Mountain Dewdrops?
|
|
| |
you ought to do something about those god-damn tea-bags under your eyes, mate |
|
| |
But they go so well with my cream-colored skin.... |
|

jurist - Caffeine may taste bitter, but I don't have taste buds in my eyes. Does your dictionary say whether or not it burns the eyes? |
|
| |
Mine does (see link). Maybe some other kind of stimulant might be more appropriate. |
|
| |
It would hit your blood stream faster if you snorted it. But I guess you can already do that with coffee. |
|
| |
[brewmaster: note that those are the dangers of *caffeine*. I don't think ingesting 10g of *coffee* is going to kill anyone.] |
|
| |
Still wouldn't fancy an eyeful of it though. |
|

An old friend of mine (probably since deceased) swore that by allowing tabs of acid to dissolve under his eyelids, he greatly increased the drug's potency. |
|
| |
[brewmaster] //he greatly increased the drug's potency.// not his own though. eh? |
|
| |
¯brewmaster: Your friend didn't hear the adage ‘acid users went blind staring at their sunshine’; had he listened to some passers of more high-test advice he'd not be too late to cry. |
|
| |
will your eyes turn brown?? I wonder.. |
|
| |
I think a change of lifestyle might be better. In the eyes? |
|
| |
It's time for a long overdue baccy-chewing-revival I say. |
|
| |
does it send you to sleep for long periods? |
|
| |
Caffienated ear drops would be better. |
