I paid $38 as a co-pay for 2.5 ml which is a 25 day supply if you calculate 1 drop in each eye per day and no lost drops onto your shirt. That comes out to $143,000 a gallon! or, if you have no insurance and are paying full price roughly $750,0000 a gallon. I think Alcon has got some big 'nads charging 3/4 of a million dollars a gallon for eye drops. With that said....the stuff works great and ...

This stuff gave me the worst cold I have had in a couple of years. Ended up having to cancel appointments and other events and spend money on cold remedies. I would not have taken it if I had known

I purchased Pataday Eye Drops and the first time I used it, it was so thick & sticky, I had too wash my eyes and face. I put a drop on my finger and it was sticky thats why my eyelid stuck closed. I threw it away.

Got about 10 drops out of a 30- day supply bottle. Didn't work at all. Will never buy again!

Come on. It’s almost impossible to get the seal off the bottle, then even harder to turn the teeny tiny cap on the teeny tiny bottle. Then very stiff teeny tiny bottle makes it very difficult to squeeze just a drop. Come on guys. Fix this.

I'm glad I didn't see these reviews before buying the xtra strength Pataday or I would not have bought it! I used it today for the 1st time after itching eye about drove me insane. It worked within several seconds-hallelujah! Sorry it didn't work for anyone, happy it worked for me. Will have to see after using for a while, but thankful for this day of no itching!!!!

It’s not working. It’s too expensive. It’s not easy to use. I have the twice a day Pataday and it’s not doing much to stop the itching and redness. I’m real disappointed in it.

Expensive! Yes. Worth it? No. Optometrist handed me a coupon and said to put these drops in my eyes. I did, for several days. I didn’t notice any difference in my allergic scratchy eyes. I did notice the headaches that some have mentioned here. (I was very skeptical at first and thought they were falsely attributing the headaches to the drops. But eventually I figured out that this headache like I’d never had before must be the drops! Felt like my brain was being squeezed right behind my eyes. Started hours after the drops were applied.)Read More Read Less

Spent $26.00 on a tiny little bottle of once a day. Followed the directions and after an hour still had absolutely no relief what so ever. I feel this was a big waste of money and the pharmacy should check reviews before suggesting it.

I have only been using Pataday two days, but what a difference! For several months I have had severe itching, irritation and watery eyes. I went to my eye doctor for my annual exam and mentioned my symptoms. He recommended Pataday twice a day. My eyes are much clearer, most of the redness is gone, and the itching has almost completely subsided. This product has been a game changer for me.

These eyedrops DO NOT last for 24 hours; if anything maybe 7 hours. What is more frustrating is the sample sizing of the product for over $20. Very disappointed.

if you buy this OTC it is less than $20 however I filled it at Walmart Pharmacy and it was $90---treated 1 eye with 1 drop and 2 hours later I now have a cough so I won't be using anymore of it...I don't recommend this to anyone because it has too many side affects.

My seasonal allergies are brutal. My eye doctor recommended I try Pataday saying it is a new, OTC treatment. I have now been on it twice per day for two weeks and it brings no relief whatsoever. In fact, I am sitting here with an ice pack on my right eye trying to keep from scratching it out of my head and decided to write reviews so others know. I wish I had read reviews before purchasing.

Used to relieve itchy watery eyes due to allergies. Relief almost instantly. Woke up next morning with swollen lower eye-lids that are painful to the touch. Will try another brand, side effect not worth it.

Well as some of you may know you can buy this over the counter now. So much cheaper. First drop I had instant relief! I was so excited to stop itching finally. As for long-term use I'll have to get back to you cuz today was my first day. Hope you all get some relief for your itchiness as I have.

Even though I take my allergy medications religiously, for decades my eyes have constantly watered to the point I carried a cloth handkerchief with me at all times. I couldn't even use tissues because I dabbed at my eyes so much the paper chafed and people thought I was crying. It was life-changing. Nothing worked until I used once a day Pataday. The watering is about 80% relieved. It's wonderful! I can put on mascara again. LOL

Worked great for my 8 year old. However after using for a solid 2 weeks 2x a day... he developed an extreme headache. It was slight and came on very intensely in a matter of minutes. Also had dizziness too. So now what for allergy season??
