Comment:
I had relief after one dose. It was remarkable since I suffered for years using over the counter drops to no avail. My insurance refuses to pay for this drug so I don't know how long I can use it as it is terribly expensive.

Seems to stop itchiness/grittiness very quickly but doesn't seem to provide long-term relief. Might even cause dry eyes to worsen. Needed genteal soon after. $50 co-pay!!! Way too pricey. Will never use or refill again.

Outrageously expensive. There has got to be something out there that works better than this. I've bought 2 bottles thinking that it works somewhat, but I'm ready to give up and try something else.

The price of this drug is just out of this world. I paid 109.00 for 2.5ml. First I thought it to be wrong but found someone else here that paid 90 dollars. Imagine using this at a bottle a month...i.e., that's over 1200 dollars per year. I am sorry, that is a wicked rip off folks. DO NOT BUY!

My son is using this medication. He is 4. His eyes get so red as soon as anything starts blooming in the spring. It keeps his eyes from swelling shut but it does not keep them from getting red and itchy. It is the best thing we have found so far though.
