For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Do not buy Pataday. My vision has become blurry. My eyes hurt in the back of them and pressure around my sockets. It is also giving me headaches. I also wake up with redder eyes than I did before taking them."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "As soon as I found and finished this $156.00 bottle of medicine, I had the same symptoms. My eyes hurt and headache, I ended up in the ER with a bill over $1,500.00 (insurance applied to deductible) and back with the same problem within 2 weeks. The ER doctor alone charged me $899.00 and was not participating in my insurance plan even though the hospital that I specifically went to did. Very frustrating. Back to square one. Why are these drops so expensive?"

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "This product (one drop per eye once a day) seemed to be working well for 2 days, then I experienced eye pain, stinging, burning, sensitivity to touch, and blood-red eyes with mucus! Worse than before I started using them. Calling my ophthalmologist back tomorrow. So disappointed ☹️"

"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."
