Pataday (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Do not buy Pataday. My vision has become blurry. My eyes hurt in the back of them and pressure around my sockets. It is also giving me headaches. I also wake up with redder eyes than I did before taking them."

Pataday (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Do NOT buy! This does not work for my itchy eyes due to seasonal allergies. It actually gave me blurry vision, especially when I wear my contacts. It’s a waste of money for such a tiny bottle of ineffective eye drops."

Pataday (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I bought this because of itchy, watery eyes. I am not sure how well it works. I had to stop using it because of blurred vision caused by the drops. I also had the feeling I was putting super glue in my eyes. They actually caused my eyes to stick together. It's very uncomfortable and scary. I cannot recommend."

Pataday (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I have always had allergies that affected my eyes in the worst ways. Even in the off-season, there would be times I couldn’t even open my eyes because they’d be burning and itching. I’ve tried everything under the sun that my doctors have prescribed me and OTC. I randomly decided to pick the Extra Strength once-a-day version at Target after years of medications failing on me. Within minutes, I was better! No burning, itchy redness. No painful irritation. The only issue I had was everything was super blurry for me for about 5 minutes after the eye drops were put in (but I’ll take it! I’ve had worse side effects). After that, I can see clear as day with no irritation!!"

Pataday Once Daily Relief (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I started with blurred vision, then headaches, then nausea, stomach issues. I thought I was getting the flu or something. THEN I remembered I was using Pataday, 1 drop per day, at the advice of my eye doctor, stopped using right away as I looked up the symptoms. What the heck, no thanks, I'll stick with lubricant drops. I wish my doctor would have warned me. I feel like the past 4 days were wasted and very uncomfortable for me."

Pataday (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "This eye drop comes in two strengths, once a day and twice a day. The twice daily worked like a charm for several years-long-term itch, burn, dryness cured! But now it has lost its effectiveness and leaves me with watery eyes and blurred vision. Hope to find something different that works at this point. P.S. People seem confused about pricing... the price is ~$20 now that you can buy it OTC."

Pataday (olopatadine) for Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "I love Pataday. I disagree with a few negative comments here. I know, at least for me, per year, I no longer am scratching my eyes when I use Pataday. I am grateful. I love it. My eyes are blurry when I first use it for a mere 5 seconds or less. I love how it immediately works. I wake up and no more feel of the 'crust' (conjunctivitis) that I used to have. I am happy. I once paid up to cash/credit $260 to $302.00 for Patanol brand prescribed by an expert allergist, years ago. I had zero complaints. I need real help controlling my allergies each year (spring) end of March or a little sooner than that, throughout May. So now, I regularly (each spring season) use it for 4 to 8 weeks or as warranted. I always have on me a bottle of it. I only use Pataday and I am happy. As the old saying goes, 'You get what you paid for.' I am one who shall splurge if it is for a bottle so tiny (and it is) to a big size for my eyes. I pay $18.50 to $26.00 for Pataday adios."

For Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis "Living in grassland, I suffer from severe hay fever. My doctor prescribed Panatol this season, and I got immediate relief. Occasionally, I get blurred vision, but cannot say this is due to the eye drops."
