Ketotifen ophthalmic for Conjunctivitis, Allergic "I had continuous allergic conjunctivitis. I thought it was mascara... kept switching brands and types of mascara. After a year of three-month intervals of conjunctivitis... went to the eye doctor, gave me Pazeo (olopatadine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution 0.2%). He said I just started having bad reactions to the contacts themselves rubbing up against my eyelids. That Pazeo, that stuff worked instantly, didn't wake up with crusty or swollen eyes. He told me after the Pazeo drops continue with 2x day Zaditor drops. OMG, they were awful. As soon as they went in, my eyes were burning. The intense burning sensation did subside after 5 min, but it was awful burning. At 30 min, still stinging. I had a scratchy feeling in my eyeballs (they were totally dried out) the rest of the day. I had an awful taste in my mouth also. Tried it again in the evening. Same thing. Next morning, I woke up, and my eyes were really puffy, like above my eyes I had the puffy upper eyelids setting over my eyeball."

Ketotifen ophthalmic for Conjunctivitis, Allergic "Started using it first day, it helped. Had a little burning. Second day, eyes were red, eyelids, upper and lower, itched, burned, redness, and swelling around both eyes. Runny nose along with a cough came on day 3. Went to the eye doctor and was told to stop using it, he prescribed another drop that had a steroid in it."

For Conjunctivitis, Allergic "I believe I am allergic to several antihistamines. This made my dry, red eyes worse, and it burned when I put in the drops. My doctor (GP) tried to rule out allergic conjunctivitis, and yeah, I guess that isn’t the problem, doc."
