For Conjunctivitis, Allergic: Suffering this "allergy season". New eye drops are FANTASTIC. 3 Cheers for Azelestine eye drops!!! |

For Conjunctivitis, Allergic: Works when my eyes aren't too bad, but when my lids are swollen, it stings and doesn't work. I got Bepreve instead and that helps without stinging. For Conjunctivitis, Allergic: Very helpful. I am mostly allergic to tree pollen (oak, birch). Stings a bit and causes lots of tears after application but it goes away within minutes. Took a day or so to become really effective - I started at the peak of the allergy season. I feel like a new person! |
