I get stringy mucous in my eyes.My doctor gave me patanol but it only worked for 6 days.It has only .01 strenght.Would a stronger strenght relieve my eye symptoms?
I bought a bottle of Patanol eye drops about a month and three weeks ago, I found the box a couple days ago and noticed on the box that it says discard thirty days after opening... The expiry date on the bottle says 01-2011.. Is this bad that I used the eye drops three weeks after it was suppose to be discarded? I only used three quaters of the bottle. I paid a little over fifty dollars for this little 5 mL bottle.... But what can you do....
The only change I have made in my life style is to take Patanol eye drops for allergy eyes. I have been using them once daily for 4 months. Could it be that this antihistamine can be causing this increase in my blood pressure? I am allergic to the drugs used for controling blood pressure and prior to this successfully lowered my pressure by exercise and diet.It is normal for me to have a reading of 130 over 80. I am 59 years old. I weigh 110 pounds. I am 5 foot 6 inches tall.
I would find another doc.; I agree with selmaS something is not right. When you do find another doc give them a good "interview" as I call it before you even go. Read abouit thier credentials, a lot of hospitals have their doctor's papers/acheivements/ credentials listed. It's so frustrating and dangerous when doctors do this.
Fwiw: I had a similar experience with a local ns here in N. Al.
My doctor told me to use Patanol and Xiloial together. But she said İ should use one of them first, then apply the other. Cuz one of them is gel or whatever. But now i cant remember which one she said that İ should use first. Can you please help me?

Last night, after reading so much information here, I happened to remember I had a bottle of Patanol in the medicine cabinet and I used it. I may be guilty of wishful thinking but it seemed like my eye felt dramatically better.
I used the Patanol again this morning and so far so good.
I'm curious how many folks have been diagnosed with depression rather than a doctor acknowledging CMI? I had a CAT & MRI, I absolutely have a fatty tumor on the brain & Chiari Malformation I with tonsils fully decended down the foramen mangum. I just found out end of January after having issues for 14 yrs. I started having issues about 23, I'm 37 now. I did go to a few doctors through the years but was told be more active...
thanks for commenting back they are really good now not bllodshot and a little runny and not to bad today
My eyes become itchy and watery. I have used patanol in the past but the eye Dr is now recommending patasol which is very expensive. I want to try Zyrtec d instead of Zyrtec which gives me some releif. Any other suggestions are appreciated.
Systane, Blink, Refresh, Soothe and something for allergies like Patanol or Pataday. If your allergy is bad enough to require a steroid then lotemax, or pred mild would be better choices.
When he was checking me, he diagnosed me with Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis and put me on patanol eye drops - he said I was allergic to the contacts I was wearing and said that the pain I felt on my left eye was because I had a foreign body in that eye and my left eye is more sensitive than before. I explained to him that my right eye was fine and he told me that my right eye actually hurts just the same but it's overshadowed by the pain in my left eye.

Hi all - I was diagnosed with CMI just about 2 years ago after a particularly symptomatic bout. In addition to CMI, I was found to have a 4.5 CM posterior fossa arachnoid cyst, which may be the cause for the CMI. Since diagnosis, I have been dealing with it symptomatically (managing headaches, mostly). However, I was recently found to have significant high-frequency hearing loss, and have been suffering from significant tinnitus for 6+ months now.
My eyes constantly have redness in them, mostly the outsides & the left one is more red than the right. How do I get rid of the redness in my eyes (without powerful medication). I'm already using an anti-allergy drop (Zaditor) which doesn't help THAT much. I've used Patanol before too. How can I get rid of the redness?
Tobramycin, Patanol, and Amox-clav. Every time he uses them his eyes sting and have been of very little help for him.
Also, after the first few days, he went raking out in his backyard for a couple hours. Could that have caused damage or an irritant to get in his eyes? What do you suggest he do?
He has been on an oral antihistimine (claritin) for many years and uses Patanol and theratears. He was told he could no longer wear contact lenses (that's fine) and hasn't since his diagnoses. There is little change to his GPC even after using a prescription eye drop with steroids and antibiotic. His opthamologist never asked if he used any face cleanser. He uses a 10% Benzoyl Peroxide wash, in addition to Clearasil pads.
selmaS is wise. Fwiw I have to warn MRI technicians that certain positions agrivate my CMI issues. Usualy they try to accomidate me anyway they can; they just often don't think about what certain positions do to a person with neuro issues.
I have been unable to contact the individuals who have been documented to have gone through a similar experience. I have reasonable CMI but virtually no passive immunity, (humoral) for this virus. (characteristic lesion, prodrome and localised reactiviation confirms original infection, IgG negative, no florid eruptions so expectation is that CMI is still effective).
It was initially thought to be allergies, but the Patanol did not help. Opthamologist then prescribed tobradex, which worked until I came off it. We then moved to longer tobradex usage that tapered over two weeks. Came back again once I came off. Then moved to oral antibiotic for one week and zylet - no results. Now oral antibiotic for two weeks - no results.
