 5  itchy, red eyes from allergies none whatsoever! It is very effective for me. I have pretty bad environmental allergies and have been getting allergy shots for a number of years. Patanol helps my eyes so much. They stop itching and reduces (but not eliminates) redness. M 36 2 months

 5  eye allergies Leaves little tiny bumps around the outer eye if not properly cleansed after applying the drops. My son is 5 years old. We thought he had pink eye, however he had eye allergies. The patanol cleared his eyes. When I stop giving him the eye drops his eyes darken, and start to have the allergic reaction again. M 5 6 months

 5  severe allergic conjunctivitis Allergies cured! I took Pantanol for a severe allergic reaction that caused itchy, dry, red, swollen eyes. After two doses, my eyes were 100% improved. The side benefit was, it also cured my year round allergy symptoms of sneezing, runny nose and itchy eyes. Unless I discover bad side affects after longer usage, this is a miracle drug for me. For the first time in years, I woke up being able to breath and not sneezing for an hour until my oral antihystimines kicked in. Couldn't have been more impressed with this product. F 39 2 weeks

 3  allergies Over time my eyes stopped producing their own tears and became dependent on the relief the drops provided. Stopped taking over 2 months ago and my tear production is just now feeling back to normal. Great relief from itchy eyes caused by allergies. F 36 2 months

 1  Allergies After taking one drop in each eye, I awoke the next day with a swollen face, followed by hives from head to toe and a persistent itch so severe I began to scratch lacerations on my skin. Cool showers during severe itching periods were soothing. The side effects lasted 2 weeks. M 35 1 times

 3  Problems with my contacts Headaches, sore throat, sensitive to light, dizziness, wake up with red eyes, tiredness, dry eyes besides the side effects that I got (I have a very low tolerence to any kind of medicine so it is very unlikely you would get all the side effects that I had) it seemed to work well F 19 2 months
