For Conjunctivitis, Allergic "I have possibly the worst eye allergies in the world. My eyes and face get beet red. I swell and itch to the point of madness. Tried everything. Zantidor did nothing but make it worse. I put Bepreve in my eyes for the first time. And after 2 minutes, I was so relieved that the itch was gone that I had to lay down. Finally got a few hours of real sleep. Minimal taste in my mouth, but that's a very small price to pay for getting rid of my itching, burning, swollen eye hell."

For Conjunctivitis, Allergic "Bepreve has changed my life! I have suffered with an undiagnosed eye condition for 8 years, some days it's so bad I have to make myself go to sleep just to get reprieve. After several different eye drops and no relief, Bepreve has completely eliminated my chronic eye condition. No more fishing out ropey eye mucus, no more itch or inflammation. I could kiss my optometrist, I'm so happy!"

For Conjunctivitis, Allergic "The Bepreve drops work amazingly well, and with them I have greatly decreased redness, itching, swelling, and blurry vision. Once in a while, I taste them but not often, and that to me is a small price to pay for comfort. But I no longer can afford this product at $218 a bottle. Even with coupons, it is $70 for a 20-day or so supply. I wish these were more affordable, so I and others could benefit from them. So I'm unsure of what I'll do now, which makes me sad. My insurance will cover this drug after I make my $5,000 deductible."

For Conjunctivitis, Allergic "I have had swollen eyes to the point they swell closed. Also, red, itchy eyes and eyelids. I was prescribed Bepreve drops. I am not sure they are working yet, but will likely never use again, as I experienced a severe metallic taste in my saliva as well as what felt to be a vapor hovering around the back of my throat. Saliva was a very bad, sour taste."

For Conjunctivitis, Allergic "Dr. said 1 drop per eye twice a day. I got the prescription filled right after my visit. It did nothing for redness when I initially used it, nor did it do anything for itching/swelling. I wanted instant relief and did not get it. If I could rate it a zero, I would."

For Conjunctivitis, Allergic "Had a severe allergic reaction, itching, swelling of the mouth, trouble breathing. Never had an allergic reaction of any kind before. Never been that scared in my 60 years of life."
