"I love this, I have a severe sensitivity to cats, and the itching gets horrible, but just a drop of Patenol in each eye and it stops. Unfortunately my insurance stopped paying for this eye drop and I can not afford it any more, hoping for a generic ."

Pataday (olopatadine) "Eye doctor told me my eye was swollen and itchy due to allergies. The pollen count was crazy, and this is the first time experiencing this. He gave me a $5-off coupon. The medicine immediately worked! The swelling was gone in one hour, and the itching was gone in less than 5 minutes. The price was mind-blowing, and the coupon was greatly appreciated, but it is so expensive for such a tiny bottle. Since I don't need this medication for much longer, I got what I paid for: instant relief. If I had to use this for an extended period of time, I would not be as willing to spend that much money. Great product though."

Pataday (olopatadine) "So many contradictory reviews, but I must say Pataday Extra Strength worked quite well for me. My 70-year-old eyes were VERY red, itchy, and VERY flaky. Never had that before. Doctor recommended trying this. Even though the packaging states once a day, he said twice a day. I noticed an improvement within about 3 days. It has now been a week, and symptoms are virtually gone. A bonus for me is that some occasional blurriness I was experiencing also seems to have improved a bit. I wear glasses but not for everything, so they are on and off all day long. Since using Pataday, I am generally seeing more clearly, especially when watching TV (w/o glasses) or reading (w/glasses). Maybe it is because I am using the Extra Strength."

Pataday (olopatadine) "I have a real problem with itching eyes, especially during the spring and fall. I have been using Pataday for over a year (not every day) and it works like a charm. It is the only product that has given me complete relief. It quickly stops the itching without any side effects. I am so grateful to my Ophthalmologist for recommending Pataday to me."

Pataday (olopatadine) "When I initially bought it, I was impressed because it didn’t produce the usual burn upon usage. Further along, it didn’t seem to be working. Fast forward a few months when my other drops expired, I used Pataday as needed and I still don’t get the burn upon usage but I have noticed that my eye itchiness is less. I also noticed the prices on this product have gone down slightly, although it’s too costly for the amount you purchase."

"My allergist prescribed this so I just assumed it was supposed to work. When it wasn’t working and making my eyes terribly worse, I tried off shelf allergy drops and got instant relief. Olopatadine actually was making my eyes worse. I will never use it again."

Pataday (olopatadine) "Beware! The actual product is TINY. The package makes it look bigger. In fact the lid is larger than the bottle! I don't feel it is a good value."

Patanol (olopatadine) "Suffering from eye allergy since childhood to date 30 yrs plus now, used all sorts of medication plus reading lenses. Discovered patanol eye drop three yrs back in one of the pharmacy around town (Kampala-Uganda) working wonders to the extent I no longer used it frequently since I feel much better now. My kid too inherit the same condition planning to put him too on the same medication. I Highly recommend for eye patients users"
