Comment:
I had to use these eye drops on my 2 year old when she started to show signs of pink eye. It was terrible getting them in simply because she was 2 years old. I started using the drops the day her eyes started to get crusty and it cleared before they even became truly pink (within 3 days or so)

I seriously think this medicine made my eyes worse. Before they were itchy and irritated but about an hour after using it, my eye lids were swollen and everything got much worse.

The pink eye went away (child) after following the instructions; however, after stopping the treatment 4 days later my child's eyes showed puffy or swollen condition.

This did not work for my pink eye. Spread into the other eye by the next day. Drops burned; eyes still red and inflamed; eye discharge still significant and bothersome; eyes itchy and irritated; no real change after a week of use. Called the doctor to switch to another drop. Hopefully this one works better. Pink eye is terrible!!!
