I seen the negative reviews after using it. However it worked great for me. Con would only be about 5-10 minutes of sticky lids but after that I was fine and it works all day for me. One singe drop last me the entire day. You really have to know how to drop it in your eye. It shouldn't take more than one drop. Expensive yes, but worth it for me.
Effective for itching - does blur the vision.
Eyes still itchy after using. After using for several days and symptoms not improving- looked at ingredients and realized I'm probably allergic to because of povidone in drops.
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.
Expensive, and it didn't work for me. Eys still itchy!
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.
The drops don't work. My eyes are still so itchy I want to claw them out.
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.)
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.
OMGosh I was so miserable for 2 weeks and then finally couldn't take it anymore and went to the store to get something that would work.... most of the eye drops were around $6 and i saw Pataday and it was $24....I thought maybe there was a difference so decided to buy it anyway...boy am I glad I did!! I got to my car opened the package and put a drop in each eye and PATADAY work INSTANTLY, I am not joking INSTANTLY my eyes stopped itching I just wish i would have got it sooner!!
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.
It worked for about 30 seconds then the feeling of something in my eye came back. Eye doctor recommended I try the extra strength once a day since allergies are horrible here this year. After using I still have the same red lines and red patch near the middle of my eye. I plan on going back to good old artificial tears.
