Which treatment is NOT recommended for eye redness?

Brimonidine (Lumify)
Prednisolone (Pred Forte)
Naphazoline/Pheniramine (Naphcon A, Visine A)
Tetrahydrozoline (Visine)

The correct answer is: Prednisolone (Pred Forte)

Prednisolone (Pred Forte) is not recommended for treating eye redness because it is a corticosteroid ophthalmic medication that is mainly used to treat inflammation in the eye. While inflammation may sometimes be a cause of redness, prednisolone is not typically used solely for the management of eye redness. In contrast, the other options (A, C, D) are OTC (over-the-counter) products commonly used for temporary relief of eye redness. Brimonidine (Lumify), Naphazoline/Pheniramine (Naphcon A, Visine A), and Tetrahydrozoline (Visine) work by constricting blood vessels in the eye, which helps reduce redness.
