For Conjunctivitis, Allergic "I used them, and within 6 hours, my eyes swelled almost shut and cheeks puffed up. 2 weeks later, I still have red, watery eyes, but thankfully the swelling is finally gone. I will never use this product again (obviously), but it is also incredibly expensive. I have never had an allergic reaction to any medication before, so this was very unexpected."

For Conjunctivitis, Allergic "A week after using Lastacaft, like with some of the other reviewers, I thought I had conjunctivitis and went in to see the doctor, indicating that it started after using the drops. He said it was due to dry eye issues and being around a lot of dust/debris, which made sense at the time. The antibiotic drops did the trick, but I was told to keep using Lastacaft, and sure enough, the redness returned. I continued with just the antibiotics, and I was back to normal. Well, this morning, I thought I'd start with Lastacaft again since the doctor indicated that they weren't the problem, and I'm back to having pink eye."

For Conjunctivitis, Allergic "I used Lastacaft for several weeks. Initially, it stung, but I continued to use it because my doctor recommended it, and I believed it might help my allergies. Lastacaft gave me redness, swollen eyelids, burning itch. Apparently, I am allergic to it. But the reaction did not happen until several weeks of use."

For Conjunctivitis, Allergic "Was having allergy issues in my eyes. My ophthalmologist prescribed Lastacaft. My eyes turned flaming red and were swollen shut from these drops. I stopped using immediately. Only medication I have ever been allergic to."
