I'm sure they will rush a doctor right over... via UPS... to check on your eye.
Maybe you should try another product... I wonder if your body is building a tolerance to the product.
Considering the lawsuit era we are in, I doubt if you will actually get a reply you could use....Windows 10 to Linux and Mac OSX: I'm PARSECs better than you. Eat my dust!!!

If acne is a big problem for you I would of thought going to a doctor to get something a bit stronger than an off the shelf product would help you out. If you think a product is starting to have a negative efftect on you I would suggest you stop using it anyway and speak to a doctor for further advice.

ProActive seems to be popular. I would check with your doctor because of the reaction you are having. Def. discontinue use of the product. No since in causing any more damage

I have used many many many products, and this is the only one that has worked.

Is there no way to see a doctor for free in America? Seems a bit crazy if you can't.

healthcare of any sort is not free, you pay for NHS with you taxes, very high taxes
You will always be paying at one point or another. Taxes, and WAITING gotta love it.
Out here no healthcare I can go see a doc for $30 rural america rocks With 24 hours notice for non emergency.
Also ub3r, the ACTIVE ingredient is this:
10% benzoyl peroxide
If you feel you have an issue with vision etc, this is the issue findng another product with this will not help, it will be the same thing. Your body has built an immunity to THIS, nothing else.Last edited by (Stephen); 09-09-2006 at 10:46 AM.

One of my pet peeves is not taking the time to read over a formal letter filled with bad grammar and lowercase I's before it is sent to a professional entity. (This isn't an invitation to English as a second language discussion.)
Any regardless, good luck with the acne problems too--I wouldn't attribute the eye problems to the acne medication. I would get your eyes checked, personally.

Your best bet is to go to a dermatologist and have them check you out. They will probably end up prescribing a few different topical treatments as well as a low dose antibiotic.

ProActive was one of the few items that did work when I was younger, tried it when it first started coming out many years ago... worked great.... did the DR and Dermo stuff, and only was miserable with some of the meds they gave and thus most didn't do a damn thing.

For those who think national health care is too expensive...our state "ate" his $40,000 hospital bill because they wouldn't fork out $100 for a doctor call and antibiotics. Where's the logic there?!?

Mike, you are alerting them to your awareness that their product might be hurting your body. If you continue using it and then later lose your vision or have another serious side-effect, they may use this letter against you should you decide to sue.

So you Americans can't just make an appointment at a doctor's surgery and get in the same day or next day unless you have health care?

The sad part is, many Americans start out with simple illnesses that could very easily be treated at a doctors office for less than $200. However, they wait until they are seriously ill and then go to the emergency room because they can't be refused (or they are hoping to get better).
Its a disgrace to our nation.
