Gatifloxacin ophthalmic for Ophthalmic Surgery "My doctor prescribed Zymar for post-op treatment after my Lasik procedure. It seems to be working just fine. Although, I have no painful symptoms to compare its effectiveness to. It does cause slightly blurred vision immediately after using it, but it only lasts for a few minutes. I have gotten hot flashes a few times and wonder if this is a side effect of the drug."

Gatifloxacin ophthalmic for Conjunctivitis "I've been using Zymar for a week for conjunctivitis, and it has had only a slight improvement. Every day I kept hoping for the redness to go away. I used something else last year and got results within 3 days. The doctors are resistant to changing the medication, but it is certainly indicated. I've been out of work for a week. I'm frustrated."

"Yes, the cost of this was a bit jaw-dropping, but this medication is really good. After two days of sheer misery, one dose was all it took to get things under control. Saw my doctor at 5 pm, picked up my prescription by 6 pm and felt 80% better by 8 pm. Thank you."

Gatifloxacin ophthalmic for Conjunctivitis "Zymar was very effective - the only issue was the cost. Thankfully, my eye doctor gave me two sample bottles that carried me through treatments, so I did not have to pay for the prescription."

Gatifloxacin ophthalmic for Conjunctivitis "I am a 63-year-old man who came down with conjunctivitis on a Friday afternoon. I spent a miserable weekend before getting in to see my eye doctor. I paid $72 for my tiny bottle of Zymar, and to me, it was worth every penny. My first application of Zymar really knocked it down, and subsequent applications really cleared it up. I was so miserable, it made me wonder what life was like before these medical miracles. Thank God for the people who invent these wonderful drugs!"
