For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I have had horrible watery and dry eyes. And would itch and become very irritated. I had bought this, hearing that it’s such an awesome medication. It worked maybe for the first week. But I’ve noticed that my eyes have actually become more sensitive and irritated. My eyelids have actually gotten really red, swollen, dry, and flaky, and my eyes constantly water all day. They don’t itch anymore, but it’s made everything else worse and created more symptoms. I only used it once a day in the mornings. Do not waste your time and money on buying this product. Big waste of money."

"I have sensitive eyes that occasionally react to something I have used on my face or something that has made contact with my eyes via my hands. My eyes sting and get itchy, and the skin around them gets scaly and dry and pulls, so it is very uncomfortable. Nothing else helps, but Pataday always returns my eyes to normal within a couple of days, sometimes the first day I use it. It is expensive but worth the relief I get from it."

"After just one day of using Pataday, I woke up for the first time with my eyes feeling normal and comfortable. I want to give this medication a chance and it's well worth the cost. I don't have insurance either. For years, I have been suffering with eye pain, dryness, and pressure. Sun sensitive. Today, after one dose, I feel terrific."
