Olopatadine ophthalmic 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."

Olopatadine ophthalmic for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Bought these on the advice of my optometrist, who said I had moderate allergies as evidenced by histamine bumps under my eyelids. Ridiculous price for a tiny bottle. After the first dose, I got a severe headache, stuffed-up sinuses, and woke up with puffy eyes. In other words, the 'cure' was worse than the disease. Ask for a sample before you waste your money on these overpriced, overrated drops."

Olopatadine ophthalmic for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Drops work GREAT! I started using them and total relief! I was so excited. Day 4: woke up with eyes so puffy I can barely open them, and I have a headache. Unfortunately, I won’t be continuing using them. If they didn’t do this to me, I’d love them."

Olopatadine ophthalmic for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "This medicine doesn’t work, it is horrible! My eyes are still inflamed, itchy, and irritated. No relief! I have been taking it for 5 days. The problem has not been rectified! Back at the doctor for another solution. Medicine is also overpriced and ineffective. In other words, Pazeo is terrible!"

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I have Graves' disease and congestive Graves' ophthalmopathy. My eyelids are swollen already from the congestion. I have problems with the allergens, mold, ragweed, pollen, etc., and eye problems are the worst. The doctor gave me a sample of Pazeo to try. I used one drop in my right eye as it's swollen worse all the time usually. It felt good going in, but in just a bit, my upper and lower eyelids were swollen double in size!!!!! Wow! I guess I won't be using this again, and I was so in hopes of it working for me! Good job I only tried one eye tonight and hope by morning the swelling will have subsided some."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Olopatadine drops are by far the most effective drop I've ever used for eye allergies. I still suffer with chronic sinusitis, chronic post-nasal drip, and a related cough, but to not have to worry about my eyes is so nice. Before olopatadine, my eyes were constantly itchy, red, swollen, and goopy, and now they're completely fine, as long as I use the drops daily. On really bad days, I use in combination with Alaway drops, but I can count on one hand how many times I've had to do that. Highly recommend."

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."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I have used these eye drops for 4 weeks. I have no relief. Every morning, it looks like I have pink eye, my eyelids are swollen now. It is very expensive as well, $180. Horrible product."
