For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Seasonal allergies, very bad. I have used this product now for the second season, with some relief of itchy, red, swollen eyes. Works okay, not a miracle though for my itchy eyes. Since it can only be used twice a day, I supplement with other OTC drops that work almost as well. The price, I really don't understand how any 5ml bottle can be $300.00. What about the people who don't/can't afford health insurance? I hope my review is published, although it isn't a 10 review, I am hoping the cost will drop for those people who cannot afford this eye drop RX."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Great medicine. I've been using it every day for 5 years now. It really helps to control and relieve my conjunctivitis, and it keeps the whites of my eyes clear (they used to be red/yellowish often). However, for serious cases of conjunctivitis (which hit me once a year at the beginning of summer), it doesn't really help, and you'll have to see your ophthalmologist for steroid drops. The major downside is the price: $35-40 for a 5ml bottle here in NZ."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I was prescribed this for my allergies and took it only a couple of times. I have an auto-immune disorder that causes dry eyes, and this medicine made them drier. It also made them itch more and become redder."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I started having red eyes. After the third day of not seeing any progress (I thought I had allergies), I went to the doctor for a diagnosis to find out I had 'pink eye.' He prescribed me Patanol to control the redness and told me to just wait as 'pink eye' is a virus and will go away on its own. I decided to still buy the prescription to find out it cost $160 for a 5ml tiny bottle! I used it twice a day (as prescribed), and my eyes were back to their normal white shade in a couple of days. I never heard of this eye drop. It is really expensive but seems to be worth it."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Even though Patanol is a bit pricey, even with insurance (about $30), and without, about $190, it's better than rubbing my eyes so hard every day and having my contacts come out from them itching so bad. It absolutely works. The only reason I'm giving it a 9 is just because it's annoying to have to wait 10 minutes to put my contacts in when I'm getting ready in the mornings as it has to be absorbed before you do."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I have used Patanol for 10 years, twice a day for allergies. I have noticed over the past year that the amount in the bottle does not last 30 days any longer. I am EXTREMELY careful to not squeeze out any additional drops, and this month it only lasted 3 weeks. I used to get 4 to 5 weeks out of a bottle, even with squeezing out additional drops accidentally. For the price, they could at least last the full 30 days. They are effective for allergies and don't burn my eyes like the generic that insurance tried to force me into."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Ever since I can remember, my eyes have always itched, and every day, I would rub/knuckle my eyes. I did some research to find out that rubbing your eyes every day can result in permanent vision loss, so I went to the clinic and was prescribed Patanol, and it has worked wonders. I am very grateful for modern medicine. A lot of people are paying an arm and a leg, but I'm in the military, and Uncle Sam takes care of me."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I have horses, and the dusty hay causes my eyes to swell and itch. This product didn't make any difference, so I bought goggles to wear while handling hay. Always feel like something is in my eye, especially when closed. Price-wise, very cheap where I live in Cyprus, only €2."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I first tried Patanol last year. I had been crying a lot one day, and my eyes felt incredibly dry and irritated afterwards. My roommate, a nurse, gave me a new bottle of Patanol (she had just been switched to another Rx instead) to help my burning eyes. I had never experienced such immediate, profound relief with any OTC dry eye drops, gels, etc. for my dry eye symptoms! Now I have my own Rx, and it still works wonders for my bad dry eyes."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Suffering from eye allergy since childhood to date, 30 years plus now, used all sorts of medication plus reading lenses. Discovered Patanol eye drops three years back in one of the pharmacies around town (Kampala, Uganda) working wonders to the extent I no longer use it frequently since I feel much better now. My kid too inherits the same condition, planning to put him too on the same medication. I highly recommend it for eye patients' users."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Been using Patanol for years and it worked great until it seemed like my eyes were getting worse. I thought I had extremely dry eye and tried an eye lubricant. After using it for a little more than a day, my eyes were bad. Itchy, burned, constantly watering, blurred vision, headaches, and I realized that the Patanol recently had been doing the same things. I haven't used any eye drops for about 24 hours and although I still have symptoms, I'm just carefully wiping my eyes, and cold compresses help and trying to avoid anything that strains my eyes. Like typing this. I'm really happy with the Patanol, no problems at all until recently, seeing all the symptoms of pink eye. Patanol is the best thing to treat. I just don't want to get worse again."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "It's good and light on eyes. My doctor prescribed it as I'm having a lot of secretions from my eyes in the morning. Patanol helped me, and the good thing is it's safe to use long term."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I love these drops. They really fixed my watery, sore eyes. Only $5 with my insurance in Canada. Not sure how much it would be if my insurance didn't cover it, but probably not too much. Lifesaver."
