Used to treat a corneal ulcer. Reduced pain, redness, and tearing within the first few hours. Healing started quickly -- eye pain and redness was reduced by 50% by the next day. I am using it exactly as prescribed by my doctor (am on the 4th day). Healing takes a week or two. Published: October 19, 2007 ::

I have been using vigamox every hour of every day to treat a corneal ulcer. i started treatment on tuesday (it is now sat.) after today i can reduce my applications to every 2 hours. my eye feels SO much better- the only reason i didnt give 'effectiveness' and 'satisfaction' the full 5 stars is because i wont know if the drug has worked for sure until i go in for my next exam on tues.

I had an ulcer on my cornea and the dr had me using this every hour for the first 12 hours after he diagnosed my problem, after just the next day, my I was feeling better, I continued on the medication every 2 hours, then down to 4 times a day for 3 days until the end of the week when he sees me again. But the medicine is working beautifully, I seem to have had some sinus pain, but nothing I could not deal with, just seemed like the air was cold. Also my mouth and tongue felt a little funny like I wanted to get ulcers but they never really developed and now by all of that is subsiding. The drug was very expensive because I do not have any insurance, however, I do not regret paying for it because it really did do what is supposed to do and that was to help heal my eye almost right away.

First of all trying to get drops in a kicking and screaming 4 four year old is already difficult, then getting an allergic reaction to the drops wasn't any easier. Both the top and bottom lids were swollen within 30 mins of admin.. Published: November 28, 2007 ::

Yes, difficult to place eyedrops in a toddler, but very effective overall. I've also tried an ointment for myself (less expensive), but it's quite messy and left me with blurred vision during treatment. Published: December 17, 2007 ::

Comment from: 35-44 Male on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

I am 35 years young. My eye doc prescribed this as a precautionary to fight any infection after lasik surgery. I took it for 3 days 3 times a day. i noticed bumps on forearms 2nd day and didnt think anything about it. 3rd day was worse and i wondered about this antibiotic and stopped taking it. It is now day 5 and I have a severe rash covering 90 percent of my body even after stopping the treatment 2 days ago. The eye dr didnt even want to aknowledge it was happening due the the treatment. I am going to another dr to find out how to get rid of this terrible poison ivy like rash. Published: February 25, 2009 ::
