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 "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."

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."
