Pataday (olopatadine) "I have sensitive eyes that ocassionally react to something I have used on my face or something that has made contact with my eyes via my hands. My eyes sting and get itchy and the skin around them gets scaly and dry and pulls, so it is very uncomfortable. Nothing else helps but Pataday always returns my eyes to normal within a couple days, sometimes the first day I use it. It is expensive but worth the relief I get from it."

Patanol (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I have horses and the dusty hay causes my eyes to swell n itch. This product didn't make any difference so I bought goggles to wear while handling hay. Always feel like something in my eye especially when closed. Pricewise very cheap where I live in cyprus..only €2."

Pataday (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "This eye drop comes in two strengths, once a day and twice a day. The twice daily worked like a charm for several years-long term itch, burn, dryness cured! But now it has lost its effectiveness and leaves me with watery eyes and blurred vision. Hope to find something different that works at this point. PS people seem confused about pricing...the price is ~$20 now that you can buy it OTC."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "This medicine cause an allergic reaction on my eyes instead of treating my allergy. My eyes became irritated and red after a few days when I started this eye drop. I had stopped and started this eye drop 3 times and It happened every time. I switch to Azelastine eye drop and I couldn't have been happier."

Pataday (olopatadine) "My eye doctor removed a splinter from my eye (had been left there for more than a week - long after the initial injury). She gave me a Pataday prescription, but I was able to buy it over the counter for much less. It works for the pain and itching so far, and I don't think I'll need to use it for very long. No problem here."

Pataday (olopatadine) "After just one day of using Pataday, I woke up for the first time with my eyes feeling normal and comfortable. I want to give this medication a chance and well worth the cost. I don't have insurance either. For years I have been suffering with eye pain, dryness and pressure. Sun sensitive. Today after one dose I feel terrific."

Patanol (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "ever since I can remember my eyes have always itched and every day I would rub/knuckle my eyes and I did some research to find out that rubbing your eyes everyday can result in permanent vision loss so I went to the clinic and was prescribed patanol and it has worked wonders. I am very grateful for modern medicine. A lot of people are paying an arm and a leg but I'm in the military and Uncle Sam takes car of me."

Pazeo (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Lifesaver. I have dry eyes and Superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis Thygeson. These drops give me relief within seconds. I don't use them every day I only use it as an emergency treatment (almost like an asthma inhaler). But when I do use it, boy does it give me relief. I'm very thankful for these drops. I tried everything else under the sun in terms of over the counter drops and none work as well as Pazeo."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "The trick is to use it just before you go to sleep. This way it has a chance to work instead of being washed away by blinking when you are awake. It's a bit sticky when you first wake up the next morning but somehow it works magically the rest of the day."

Pazeo (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "The doctor gave me a couple of sample bottles and did not tell me how to use the medicine. It had no instructions on how to use on the bottle. I used a bottle in 1 day. Woke up the next morning with a splitting headache. Hurting over my left eye. It would have been nice if the doctor would have told me how to use it. I finally looked the medicine up on the internet and found out how to use."

Patanol (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I first tried Patanol last year. I had been crying a lot one day and my eyes felt incredibly dry and irritated afterwards. My roommate, a nurse, gave me a new bottle of Patanol (she had just been switched to another rx instead) to help my burning eyes. I had never experienced such immediate, profound relief with any OTC dry eye drops, gels, etc. for my dry eye symptoms! Now I have my own Rx, and it still works wonders for my bad dry eyes."

Pazeo (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Other than price $250, eye drops worked great. My eyes before I took them felt horrid, swollen, itchy, blurry, gritty etc..... Took approx a week, twice a day, my eyes returned to normal, no side effects."

Patanol (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Been using Patanol for years and it worked great until it seemed like my eyes were getting worse. I thought I had extremely dry eye and tried an eye lubricant. After using it for little more than a day, my eyes were bad. Itchy, burned, constantly watering, blurred vision, headaches and I realized That the Patanol recently had been doing the same things. I haven't used any eye drops for about 24 hours and although I still have symptoms, I'm just carefully wiping my eyes, and cold compresses help and trying to avoid anything that strains my eyes. Like typing this. I'm really happy with the Patanol, no problems at all until recently. seeing all the symptoms of pinkeye. Patanol is the best thing to treat. I just don't want to get worse again."

Pataday (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I love Pataday. I disagree with a few negative comments here. I know, at least for me, per year, I no longer am scratching my eyes when I use pataday. I am grateful. I love it. My eyes are blurry when I first use it for a mere 5 seconds or less. I love how it immediately works. I wake up and no more feel of the "crust"(conjunctivitis) that I used to have. I am happy. I once paid up to IN CASH/CREDIT $260 to $302.00 for PATANOL brand prescribe by expert allergist, years ago. I had ZERO complaints. I need REAL help controlling my allergies each year (spring) end of March or lil sooner than that, throughout May. So now, I regularly (each spring season) use it for 4 to 8 weeks or as warranted. I always having on me a bottle of it. I only use PATADAY and I am happy. As the old saying goes, "You GET what YOU paid for." I am one who shall splurge if it is for a bottle so tiny (and it is) to a big size for my eyes. I pay 18.50 to $26.00 for PATADAY adios."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Useless. These eye drops do absolutely nothing for me. My eye doctor prescribed them, but really the over the counter stuff worked way better . There was more of it per bottle and it was much cheaper that this useless stuff."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I have suffered with allergies and asthma all my life and have tried every eye drop on the market I was sick to death of having watery itchy red sore and uncomfortable eyes with conjunctivitis like discharge. I tried these drops and I swear they are incredible. It's been 2 days and my eyes feel brand new I'm on a combination of flarex 0.1 a steroid drop for a couple of weeks, olapatadine twice a day and systane ultra every couple of hours as my eyes are very dry. AMAZING WORTH EVERY CENT"

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "First time was yesterday with Olopatadine. During the night I felt pain and discomfort in my left eye. I woke up with the lower eyelid swollen, drooping and with a dark circles in both eyes. Very uncomfortable, but still I made a second attempt now to see if it reverses the situation. I am also using a lubricating eye drop twice a day."

Pazeo (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "My Doc prescribed Pazeo saying I have allergy in the eyes but didn't say anything about the medication. But when I read the reviews about its side effects, omg no wonder I have had all these symptoms lingering in me for as all this time. Doctor gets bonus when prescribed drugs. So they don't care about your health...btw its costs my insurance $224 a small bottle."

Pataday Once Daily Relief (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "To all who say it does nothing for them. I had the same thought. I used it for a week with very little results. I started to just throw it in the garbage but decided to use it until it was all gone, after all I had payed for it. After about three weeks I really started to notice a difference and when it was almost gone I had no more problems. My point is, don't give up so soon. Keep using it until it's all gone and then make u your mind. Great stuff, worked for me."

Pataday (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "This worked so well. My allergies caused severe nosebleeds. This helped control them until allergy shots could take over. A decade later, I am not doing more allergy shots, so I use these when allergies occasionally pop up."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I have Graves Disease and Congestive Graves Opthalomopathy. My eyelids are swollen already from the congestion. I have problems with the allergens, mould, ragweed, pollen, etc and eye problems are worst. Doctor gave me sample of Pazeo to try. I used one drop in my right eye as its swollen worse all the time usually. It felt good going in but in just a bit my upper and lower eyelid were swollen double in size!!!!! Wow! guess I won't be using this again and I was so in hopes of it working for me! Good job I only tried one eye tonight and hope by morning the swelling will have subsided some."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Olopatadine drops are by far the most effective drop I've ever used for eye allergies. I still suffer with chronic sinusitis, chronic post-nasal drip, and a related cough, but to not have to worry about my eyes is so nice. Before olopatadine my eyes were constantly itchy/red/swollen/goopy and now they're completely fine, as long as I use the drops daily. On really bad days I use in combination with Alaway drops, but I can count on one hand how many times I've had to do that. Highly recommend."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I am many years with eye allergies and patanol used to help me cure this. Until recently where I bought this expensive eye drops and expecting same results. But too bad, it's either the ingredients changed or its only contains water in it.. The allergies stays and the drops don't do any I mean any improvement except make it worse! It sux! I was in middle of why this still happening to me while I am using patanol?! For 3 weeks no improvement! Till I use generic anti allergic eye drops which cures instantly!!!"

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I don't use Olopatadine every day. I've only used it 3 times since I got it a couple weeks ago. I noticed my lower eye lid pain then 3 days later the pain is worse with swelling. So I used it for the 3rd time last night hoping the eye drop will work for whatever was going on. Nothing but more pain and swelling. Couldn't figure out what it was until this forum. I will have to see my Dr or an opthalmologist tomorrow."

Pataday (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "My husband bought an over the counter small bottle for $21. You use only one drop once a day. The bottle will last. It immediately stopped my horrible itchy eyes. I get this in the spring - allergies galore. I prefer using this to gouging my eyes out because of itch and also ageing my eyes when doing so. Just like all reviews for various items. We are not using the prescription type. Perhaps it’s stronger, but this works."
