    These eye drops caused yellowing of the eye for my 13yo son!! Hoping this clears up over night! If not, we will visit the dr. Wish this was noted on the side effects.

    Like many mention with 1 drop, pupil dilation that lasted all day causing blurred vision. Didn't help eye itch. Will not use again.

    My Eye Dr. recommended Opcon-A, and I am so glad he did. I don't have any side effects and experienced relief from my itchy watery eyes. For those experiencing harsh side effects I would suggest you cut back application. Instead of 2 drops in each eye try only one. It still works great. All the best.

    Woke up with extreme itching in one eye - not sure if its allergy or conjunctivitis yet. I have these drops and am using them again to see if it gets worse (pink eye) or better in the next day or so. I've had no dilation problem.

    Used this for itchy allergy eyes. My eyes quit itching but now my pupil in my left eye is so HUGE I can't see anything!!! Do not use these eye drops unless you plan on sitting in a dark room for the entire day, because you can't see!
