Avatar n tn with one eye swollen red and a white discharge! i thought it might have been triggered by the makeup trial i had done the night of my hens. but it keeps coming back! I've been to many eye specialist and allergy specialist to no one knowing how to help but prescribe steroid eye drops!
Avatar n tn Zaditor is NOT the same as Patanol or Pataday. My doctor told me not to mix and match. NOW AARP Rx is sending me a generic Olopatadine HCL by Rising Labs and I am paying the same price as the Brand Patanol which works great for me. I live in NE NJ..
Avatar m tn I believed it was pink eye and when i went to the doctor they prescribed Pataday as well as some other drops i would apply 4 times a day. My eyes got better and i did not wear my contacts at all. They said to only put your contacts in after 2 days of my eyes bein completely white . Weeks passed and i did that. Then i noticed my eyes started getting red again. Not itchy or hurting just red. So about 3 weeks later i got checked out again.
Avatar m tn Hi. I was wondering if i could use Pataday if i have ocular herpes? Are there any risks that i should be aware of when using Pataday?
Avatar n tn Are steroids such as Maxitrol or Tobradex *supposed* to help with eye burning caused by dry eye or can it make your symptoms worse? I'm dealing with allergic conjunctivitis (again!) and dealing with burning eyes. thanks!
Avatar n tn I suspect that result may be optimistic since I saw another chart recently from a study showing that with the alcon monofocal that vision is down to 20/40 by the -1D, 1 meter, mark and worse closer in. Usually its best to compare multiple studies since manufacturers do tend to be optimistic sometimes (though some seem to be good about picking a representative study).
Avatar f tn I was scared and revisited the doctor. The doctor prescribed me Pataday. On using Pataday for a day, I was afraid if it could resolve the issue. I took a second opinion from a diff. Doctor. The doctor prescribed me Lotopred, Ikul, Systane ultra eye drops for every four hours a week and said not to wear lenses for 10 days. I followed the instructions and my eyes got back to normal.
Avatar n tn ) I see aspheric monofocal IOLs recommended here by Dr. Hagan and others. I called Alcon and was told that their aspheric (and blue light filtering) ACRYSOF® IQ lens is the "new standard" in monofocal IOLs, although they are more expensive. I am surprised that my doctor never mentioned the word "aspheric" to me. Is there ANY reason for me not to chose an aspheric IOL over a "traditional" monofocal IOL for my right eye?
Avatar f tn I went to my opthamologist. The doctor prescribed Tobramycin and Pataday. Using both eye drops the condition got better with just a bit in the right eye. My opthamologist took me off the antibiotic and told me to do the Pataday (allergy drops). Which I have. Yet, my right eye is tearing excessively and my right eye is tearing a little bit. The inner tear duct is very itchy and sting at times.I already got another opionion and was told that it's allergies.
Avatar f tn s the paper says AAO New Orleans supplement I found an article by William Trattler called Glistenings visually relevant. Of which I cannot find the website now. But in it "The AcrySof Lens material (Alcon) is particularly susceptible to glistenings. Incidence rates have published ranging between 11% to 60%. Waite and colleagues not glistenings might impact high spatial resolution contrast sensitivity. The rates seem low to me. How about you?
Avatar m tn I suffer from the exact same thing with the inside corner of my eye driving me crazy at times it itches so bad. What has helped me is Rx eye drops called Pataday. It is for itchy allergy eyes, and sometimes I put a drop or two on the end of a q-tip and dab it in that corner of my eye and sometimes I put the drop directly into the eye. Works wonders. Whether it is allergy or irritation of some sort, the drops take the itch away for me. I hope this works for you.
Avatar f tn t tell if it has added to already existing discomfort. Have beenn Restasis, Alrex , Pataday and now Muro ointment. I see a well known Corneaologist and he wants me to have the Amniotic Membrane Transplant especially now that I have developed the eye cysts. I don't know what to do -- wld like other opinions on this procedure and its history on long term resolution of Conjunctivochalsis. Also, are my cornea issues related to the extended use of Restasis? Alrex & Pataday?
Avatar f tn An Alcon representative called me on Wednesday, August 20, 2008, concerning my surgery and the implant of the Restor lens. When I told her of the terrible effects of the implant, my blurred vision and the black flickering line I now see she actually suggested I go to the drugstore and buy reading glasses! I just spent $4650.00 to improve my vision and the Alcon representative told me to go the drugstore and buy reading glasses!
Avatar n tn I found a 2015 FDA recall report on ALCON Laboratories manufacture of the ReSTOR lens with my model number as one of the recalls! They are claiming the recall on ReSTOR IOL multi-focal lens applied to Japan shipment, I do not believe it is only Japan, my model number was on the list! The problems I have/had are beyond what could be typical after the procedure.
Avatar f tn Hagen - thank you - I will see someone else - should they be experienced with Alcon and how they fit in the eye? Is it possible that the vessel rupture is the result of whatever is causing so much ongoing discomfort? Is there anything you can think of that could cause this? It is not just when focusing -it always stings/burns in the upper right area of my eye and almost always feels like something is in my bottom lid .
Avatar m tn I'm the 53 year old high myope(-9 contact prescription) male with a posterior subcapsular cataract in my right eye. It's bothering me to the point that I need to get it taken care of. I almost had surgery a year ago but canceled it a week before it was scheduled. I had researched (probably to much) and discovered all kinds of information that did not give me warm fuzzy feelings. (increased risk of RD, etc.
Avatar m tn I have one lens replaced with the Alcon sn60wf & now several years later it is time for the other eye.With the alcon eye - I have some difficulty discerning shapes only in a dimly light room but night driving is good. In a room with small amts of light coming in the window - the Alcon eye can barley see- but the natural cataract eye discern shapes easily.
Avatar f tn I had temporary (week long) eye plugs put in my eyes due to dry eyes along with Pataday once a day eye drop for eye allergies. My eyes plugs were put in on Wednesday afternoon. How long does it take for the plugs to work, I mean my eyes aren't burning like before, but they're still somewhat red. I don't know if it's cleared a little, but I don't see a big difference. How long before my eye plugs clear up my dry eyes.
Avatar n tn I went to my Eye MD. Today and e said that the Alcon Acrysof IQ Toric Iol for Astigmatism would be a good choice for me sence I have 1.25 Astigmatism in my right eye. I had the Crystalens HD 500 put in my left eye two years agao but I have 1.25 Astigmatism in my left eye also and I need eather LRI or Laisk done and I would need glasses any way to read so why spened the money if it don't work.
