Comment:
I used one drop every 4 hours. After the second application my eyes felt so much better and most of the redness was gone. After 24 hours all the redness was gone. I'm very happy with this RX.

It seems like most reviews on here suffered the same thing I have. I'm just confirming that these eyedrops are very slow to work and not very effective.
