    it worked for me although a small bump underneath the lid at the top of my left eye appeared for a day or so. it felt like there was trash in my eyes. Published: November 20, 2007 ::

    this worked fine for along with other drops tho. it did remove the pain i had from the burning in my eyes but left them feeling dry. so i applied an over the counter drop along with it after about ten minutes and that provided relief for hours Published: February 21, 2008 ::

    I have the absolute worst eye allergies and have tried pretty much every medication, all of which never seem to work. My doctor just switched me to Optivar instead of Patonal and I think I notice a slight difference. It burns a lot when you first put it in, but stops the pain. It also leaves a horrible taste in the back of your throat, which i have not been able to get rid of. But I will suck it up if that means my eyes will stop itching. Published: May 06, 2009 ::

    I found optivar to work well for my allergies. It helps my eyes feel better and most of all stops the red skin I get around and in the corner of my eyes. Published: January 19, 2009 ::

    Of the various prescription eye drops I tried for my eye allergies, Optivar was the one I liked least. I didn't seem to work any better than the others, and it left an unpleasant taste in my mouth. This, of course, reflects only my experience. Published: October 26, 2008 ::
