"I love this. I have a severe sensitivity to cats, and the itching gets horrible, but just a drop of Patanol in each eye and it stops. Unfortunately, my insurance stopped paying for this eye drop, and I cannot afford it anymore, hoping for a generic."

Olopatadine ophthalmic "Eye doctor told me my eye was swollen and itchy due to allergies. The pollen count was crazy, and this is the first time experiencing this. He gave me a $5-off coupon. The medicine immediately worked! The swelling was gone in one hour, and the itching was gone in less than 5 minutes. The price was mind-blowing, and the coupon was greatly appreciated, but it is so expensive for such a tiny bottle. Since I don't need this medication for much longer, I got what I paid for: instant relief. If I had to use this for an extended period of time, I would not be as willing to spend that much money. Great product though."

Olopatadine ophthalmic "I have a real problem with itching eyes, especially during the spring and fall. I have been using Pataday for over a year (not every day) and it works like a charm. It is the only product that has given me complete relief. It quickly stops the itching without any side effects. I am so grateful to my Ophthalmologist for recommending Pataday to me."

"My allergist prescribed this, so I just assumed it was supposed to work. When it wasn’t working and making my eyes terribly worse, I tried off-shelf allergy drops and got instant relief. Olopatadine actually was making my eyes worse. I will never use it again."

Olopatadine ophthalmic "Works for me. I also use Opcon-A as an alternative. After cataract surgery, I was getting conjunctivitis in one eye, Pataday works longer (like 8 to 10 hours) and Opcon-A for a few hours, but right away."

Olopatadine ophthalmic "My doctor prescribed Pazeo, saying I have allergies in the eyes but didn't say anything about the medication. But when I read the reviews about its side effects, oh my god, no wonder I have had all these symptoms lingering in me for all this time. The doctor gets a bonus when prescribing drugs, so they don't care about your health... by the way, it costs my insurance $224 for a small bottle."

Olopatadine ophthalmic "Been using Patanol for years and it worked great until it seemed like my eyes were getting worse. I thought I had extremely dry eye and tried an eye lubricant. After using it for a little more than a day, my eyes were bad. Itchy, burned, constantly watering, blurred vision, headaches, and I realized that the Patanol recently had been doing the same things. I haven't used any eye drops for about 24 hours and although I still have symptoms, I'm just carefully wiping my eyes, and cold compresses help and trying to avoid anything that strains my eyes. Like typing this. I'm really happy with the Patanol, no problems at all until recently, seeing all the symptoms of pink eye. Patanol is the best thing to treat. I just don't want to get worse again."

Olopatadine ophthalmic "The doctor gave me a couple of sample bottles and did not tell me how to use the medicine. It had no instructions on how to use on the bottle. I used a bottle in one day. Woke up the next morning with a splitting headache, hurting over my left eye. It would have been nice if the doctor would have told me how to use it. I finally looked the medicine up on the Internet and found out how to use."

Olopatadine ophthalmic "I have used OTC Pataday once daily for allergy eyes for the past 5 days. For me, it does not improve itching and redness any better than much cheaper options. I will not buy it again."

Olopatadine ophthalmic "Beware! The actual product is tiny. The package makes it look bigger. In fact, the lid is larger than the bottle! I don't feel it is a good value."

Olopatadine ophthalmic "I'll stick with the $2.50 brand. I'm in no way happy with this product, nor its rip-off price. People, I wouldn't pay over $2.50 for a bottle of Pataday, which is watered-down eye drops ever again."

"Living in grassland, I suffer from severe hay fever. My doctor prescribed Panatol this season, and I got immediate relief. Occasionally, I get blurred vision, but cannot say this is due to the eye drops."
