For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Was prescribed Pazeo from my eye doctor for allergic conjunctivitis. It does seem like my eyes are clearer, but it gives me an awful-tasting drip in my throat and maybe upset my stomach. I've been taking the medicine for five days, one drop in each eye, and was given a sample that lasted the five days. When I got the prescription, I was able to use a coupon that brought the price from $190 to $40. The prescribed bottle is literally the same size as the free sample I got! It's only 5 days' worth of drops, and it's a 2.5 mL bottle. The other thing that bothers me is what is in the drops... boric acid? Is this ok to have dripping into my stomach from using in my eyes? Not sure about Pazeo yet..."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Who in their right mind (including me) keeps big pharmaceutical companies in business like this? Overrated and overpriced! $66 out of pocket after insurance paid another $180.00... Never again will I buy this garbage!"

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Here is a case of big pharma at its finest. $197 for a 0.5 ml bottle. Doc gave me two bottle samples. One was empty, one lasted a month. Same size. The one I purchased had TWO drops in it!! My insurance stopped covering it at the first of the year. I will never buy this again. I'm not sure it works for my condition anyway, as symptoms have not cleared up. Don't buy this."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I was a little weary of trying it out because even after insurance it was $55 for the tiniest bottle ever, but I thought, hey, if it works, then it might be worth it. I've been using it daily and have not noticed a change in the redness of my eyes. It has helped at relieving my eyes from being itchy, but I still notice that my eyes are red and veiny. I would not recommend it, I'm sure you can get another eye drop that works just as mediocre for much less!"

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "These eye drops have saved my itchy, watery, red eyes in a matter of seconds from the first application. So thankful for this medicine, it lasts me 24 hrs during hay fever and when the seasons and temperatures change. I only use these when I absolutely need it. The only con I would say is it can, like most eye drops, give you a nasty taste in your mouth due to drainage, but it doesn't last that long, it's worth it to relieve my eyes from this torture of allergies. P.S. I suffer from seasonal allergies, dust, and I have ocular itching, forget the technical fancy name for it, lol. I would definitely recommend this med."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "was given a small sample bottle from my doctor and it seemed to ease my symptoms somewhat. However, when I got to the pharmacy , with my little coupon, that read "pay as little as $10 for Pazeo" that had accompanied the sample, the wanted $95 for the same size tiny bottle. I told them to keep it. Pharmacy then magically came up with an additional "special offer" that reduced that down to $55. There should be just one price, instead of all these hidden discounts, the drug was not effective enough for me to cough up that much to continue this drug."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "This medicine doesn’t work it is horrible!! My eyes are still inflamed, itchy, and irritated. No relief!!! I have been taken it for 5 days.

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I have had watery eyes for a month now. Itching so bad I have rubbed the bridge of my nose raw. I used these drops right before bed. I woke up with the worst headache in my life! I feel absolutely out of control. The cost was $130 even with a coupon. The pharmacy gave me some coupon for an amount that had me pay $59.00. This headache isn’t worth it. I need all my money back."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "wondered why the sample Doc. gave me was so small. Did little to help. Know I realize it is so expensive, I am sad that my ophthalmologist probably works for more for big pharma, than in my interest."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Lifesaver. I have dry eyes and Superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis Thygeson. These drops give me relief within seconds. I don't use them every day I only use it as an emergency treatment (almost like an asthma inhaler). But when I do use it, boy does it give me relief. I'm very thankful for these drops. I tried everything else under the sun in terms of over the counter drops and none work as well as Pazeo."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "The doctor gave me a couple of sample bottles and did not tell me how to use the medicine. It had no instructions on how to use on the bottle. I used a bottle in 1 day. Woke up the next morning with a splitting headache. Hurting over my left eye. It would have been nice if the doctor would have told me how to use it. I finally looked the medicine up on the internet and found out how to use."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Other than price $250, eye drops worked great. My eyes before I took them felt horrid, swollen, itchy, blurry, gritty etc..... Took approx a week, twice a day, my eyes returned to normal, no side effects."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "My Doc prescribed Pazeo saying I have allergy in the eyes but didn't say anything about the medication. But when I read the reviews about its side effects, omg no wonder I have had all these symptoms lingering in me for as all this time. Doctor gets bonus when prescribed drugs. So they don't care about your health...btw its costs my insurance $224 a small bottle."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Was surprised at how effective these drops have been right from day #1. Was suffering from unusual contact lens discomfort and daily use of one drop in each eye has made a real difference for me."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I have struggled with increasing allergies as I hit my mid-thirties, now 45. When my eyes were itchy, it was miserable. My eyes would swell like Quasimodo, protruding and painful. One little drop in the corner of each eye and it was instantly resolved. I wait till necessary because, 1) they are extremely expensive and 2) you don't need to be mucking up your natural ability the body has to do some of its own battling and system functions (as with anything). If you need more, it's likely that you are either using it in the center of your eye and it's running off instead of into your tear ducts or it's not the medicine for you. It burns for about a minute, and then you can get back to life."
