Pataday (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis: I'm 31 and have developed severe allergies over the past couple of years. My eyes are horrible, itchy, watery, burning at times. I finally broke down and went to an allergist. I am allergis to cats and dog, plus Dust Mites. Yay! I have 2 cats. She gave me a sample of Pataday, with a prescription. I have been using them everyday for 5 days, one drop in each eye in the morning. A M A Z I N G!!! My eyes are so clear, they don't itch, they don't water but a little in the morning and then I'm good the rest of the day. I haven't rubbed them in five days, they are finally starting to heal. I have rubbed them raw with all the itching. I love these drops and can't wait to fill the prescription! My miracle eye drops. Thank you!

Patanol (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis: This medication helped with my allergies greatly! The only problem is that it stung a little when first using it.

Patanol (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis: Great medicine, I've been using it everyday for 5 years now, really helps to control and relieve my conjunctivitis, and it keeps the whites of my eyes clear (they used to be red/yellowish often).
However, for serious cases of conjunctivitis (which hit me once a year at the beginning of summer), it doesn't really help, and you'll have to see your ophthalmologist for steroid drops.
The major downside is the price. $35-40 for a 5ml bottle here in NZ.

Patanol (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis: It's good and light on eyes. My doctor prescribed it as I'm having a lot of secretions from my eyes in the morning. Patanol helped me and the good thing is it's safe to use long term.

Pataday (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis: This worked great. It immediately cleared up all the watering. With only having to use the medicine once a day it is so easy.
