Olopatadine ophthalmic "My eye doctor removed a splinter from my eye (had been left there for more than a week - long after the initial injury). She gave me a Pataday prescription, but I was able to buy it over the counter for much less. It works for the pain and itching so far, and I don't think I'll need to use it for very long. No problem here."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "First time was yesterday with olopatadine. During the night, I felt pain and discomfort in my left eye. I woke up with the lower eyelid swollen, drooping, and with dark circles in both eyes. Very uncomfortable, but still, I made a second attempt now to see if it reverses the situation. I am also using lubricating eye drops twice a day."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I don't use olopatadine every day. I've only used it three times since I got it a couple of weeks ago. I noticed my lower eyelid pain, then three days later, the pain is worse with swelling. So I used it for the third time last night, hoping the eye drop will work for whatever was going on. Nothing but more pain and swelling. Couldn't figure out what it was until this forum. I will have to see my doctor or an ophthalmologist tomorrow."
