From the moment I put these drops in my eyes turned red & started to water...thought maybe I needed to get used to them, but after 5 days my eyes were swollen and painful! Stopped drops and returned to my Eye Dr. who said "it couldn't possibly be the Pataday." Prescribed steroid drops and my eyes are still messed up, dialated, blurry...it's horrible! Now I will go to an Opthamologist ... Show Full Comment

I bought these eye drops thinking I needed them , but after paying 125. for a small bottle its the last time purchasing it, I will just use over the counter , its such a ripe off for such a small bottle, there is no way that is going to last a month.

After two days of use my eye began painfully burning, now it is just swollen. Pataday made my eyes worse somehow. I am very disappointed, have stopped use, and am going back to the Doctor to find something that will help (hopefully)

Have been on this for years since lots of wood burning stoves in this neighborhood. Ugh! Now on medicare and don't think I can afford the high price. Am now trying Naphcon A which is also made by Alcon. May switch to this drig. Hard to get just one drop in. Pataday tends to run down my cheeks. I also take loratadine which is generic Claratin over the counter. We will see!
