Mechanism of action

Brimonidine tartrate, the active ingredient in Lumify, selectively binds to alpha-1 adrenergic receptors on the conjunctival and episcleral blood vessels of the eye. This causes vasoconstriction, reducing blood flow to the conjunctiva and thereby decreasing the appearance of redness. The effect is rapid and temporary, typically lasting 8 hours.
