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."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I was prescribed this for my allergies and took it only a couple of times. I have an auto-immune disorder that causes dry eyes, and this medicine made them drier. It also made them itch more and become redder."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "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."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Disappointed. Was hoping OTC Pataday would be equivalent to Patanol. Not even close. Does not effectively relieve itching or redness. Sorry."
