    Had to put in eye every 3 hours. After two weeks my eyes are still not well and will have to go back to the doctor. These drops made my eyes tear well after application

    Comment:
    After using the drug for 3 days my eyelids became horribly itchy. That, I read later in the label, is an adverse effect of the medicine. I wish I had been given choices and told about the possible benefits and side effects of each of the options before being given the prescription.

    My eyes are redder and itchier than ever. My lids are now swollen. I think I may be allergic to something in it. Going back to the clinic today.
