For Ophthalmic Surgery "I used Vigamox for cataract surgery. It has serious side effects that even doctors are unaware of. I got ringing in my ears and tingling in my hands, feet, and legs. I also got leg pain. The tingling is a symptom that irreversible peripheral neuropathy may start to occur. Six weeks later, I still have the ringing in my ears and tingling. If you get any tingling, stop this drug immediately."

For Conjunctivitis, Bacterial "I have difficulties using prescription eye drops because most contain a preservative called benzalkonium chloride that I'm allergic to - my eyes get red, irritated, and burn. This eye drop does not have the preservative. It was a life saver for my conjunctivitis! Within 2 days, it started to clear up - the drops were easily tolerated."

For Ophthalmic Surgery "After cataract surgery, took Vigamox and two other eyedrops. I have had difficulty urinating and some burning in the urethra. I did some research and found that this was a possible, but not common side effect. It's been two weeks, so I will stop this medication, it's almost gone anyway, and see what happens."

For Conjunctivitis, Bacterial "This is the worst eye drop I have ever experienced. My eyes are dry, itchy, I want to scratch. Extremely red eyes, very dizzy, blurred vision, pain, constant watering of eyes, burning, very light sensitive, unable to even have house light on. Blurred vision after putting drops in. I have stopped taking it and am going back to the doctor to try something different."

For Conjunctivitis, Bacterial "I received it for secondary bacterial infected epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) adenoviral, and it is irritating to both eyes. After use for 5 days, the whole eye was swollen, and by slit lamp, there were large epithelial defects, marginal then central, and no improvement until stopping this drug. My ophthalmologist told me it was a strange reaction, so he decided to stop it. That was the time I got some relief. Has anybody had the same experience?"

For Conjunctivitis, Bacterial "My eye did swell when I used these eye drops. It was scary and painful. I don't know why the symptoms list eye swelling under incidents unknown because it happened to me, and I reported it to the prescribing doctor."

For Ophthalmic Surgery "I was welding with an electric welder and got a foreign body in the eye. Vigamox was prescribed by the doctor after removing the foreign body and doing eye cleaning. The treatment is a drop every 4 hours, and the side effects I'm experiencing are a lot of headache pressure, heaviness in the eye, and pain. I'm just on the first day of treatment, and I need to keep using the treatment as recommended by the doctor for 7 days."

For Conjunctivitis, Bacterial "Have only been using now for 1 full day, and have not noticed much. I no longer have pain in my eye, not as watery but still red at the bottom of my bottom lid. Will continue to use and see what happens!"
