For Conjunctivitis, Allergic "I loved these drops at first. Even was able to cut back on my nasal allergy medicine. However, after a month, I had a terrible reaction to it and ended up looking like I had pink eye in both eyes, in addition to swollen, horribly itchy eyelids. My luck, allergic to the allergy medicine. Don't panic if this happens to you, it'll go away in a couple of days."

For Conjunctivitis, Allergic "Have tried so many medicines to help my dry eye. I mentioned to my doctor that during allergy season my eyes were worse, so he prescribed Lastacaft. I tried it right in the office and again the next day. Have been using it for 5 days now and have not had to use ANY other drops for dry eye! This is amazing as I was using drops multiple times a day. This doesn't burn or itch, but does kind of feel like I've used a cooling liquid in my eye, sort of like menthol, but it disappears within about a minute. Great product."

For Conjunctivitis, Allergic "Nothing else worked for me. I tried Pataday and Bepreve before, and Lastacaft blew it out of the water. Super fast-acting, and I only use it less than once per day. My doctor loves this, and I will stick with it for life. My eyes used to be red and itch all day, and now they are clear and comfortable. Love it!"
