    This medication is very thick and hard to administer. Received 3 different eye drops after eye surgery. All were 5ml bottles. I have ran out of the Besivance far quicker than the others. Cost is expensive.

    Had cataract surgery. This is a drug that is on a very few, if any, formularies. A very small bottle (5 ml) is supposed to hold 37 drops. Not a chance. MANUFACTURER'S (Bausch+Lomb) Discount coupon "reduced" price from $176. to $71. BUT NO REFILLS UNTIL WELL AFTER DRUG IS GONE. REFILL COST = $176.00.

    Used along with Lotemax and Prolensa following cataract surgery and IOL placement and have had excellent results. Some burning for the first few doses following surgery but that stopped after the firrst day. Right eye turned out with almost 20/20 vision, now on second eye and hoping for same.

    Used for pre and after cataract surgery. Drop control difficult. Either not enough or too much comes out. White substance with white bottle tip make it impossible to see. Vision very blurry.

    Comment:
    I had an inflamed tear duct and the Dr. flushed it out and gave me a sample of the Besivance to use. From the first use I felt awful. Terrible taste in mouth,eye redness, nausea,and just feeling unwell. I didn't connect my symptoms to the eye drops until two small pills which I take daily got caught in my throat and it took me forever to get them down. This was only after two days of use. I ...
