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.
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?
) good luck to you! It is all so worth it!
A few months ago I was walking to my friends house and had something fly into my eye. As soon as I went to his place I took my contact lenses off and tried rubbing the foreign body out with water, but only managed to scratch my cornea in the process. Then I put my contact lenses back on not knowing what I had just done and my left eye had an infection, my eye was sensitive to light, it felt itchy, every time i blinked it hurt VERY bad.
s so silght that it is not the cause of the ghost images. He prescribed Patanol and said to come back in 4 weeks. So far -- it's been two days -- the eyedrops aren't helping at all.
Couple of other things: About two months ago, I had a CT scan of the head and a blood test done because I experienced dizziness and nausea. The cause turned out to be a sinus infection, but no other problems have been turned up.
thanks for commenting back they are really good now not bllodshot and a little runny and not to bad today
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.
I have had inflammatory conjunctivitis for 5 years. It started when I was 18 when I was hospitalised for a fast acting and vicious facial herpes and bacterial infection outbreak that riddled me head to toe. I am now on regular aciclovir and loratadine. It took years to recover from all the health issues that resulted from the outbreak and to manage flareups but one thing I haven't gotten a hold of is the conjunctivitis.
My 5 yr old son is suffering from vernal conjunctivitis since last year. At the onset of spring, his eyes become red and then in a month , the limbus area in both the eyes get swelled.
Last year, he was treated with patanol and then FML for the inflammation.
This year, again when FML(Tapered dose starting with 3 times) and Tacroz( 0.03% , once at bedtime) was prescribed. We took a second opinion and Lotepred( tapered dose starting with 4 times/day) was prescribed.
My questions are,
1.
The culture will likely come back negative due to being on antibiotics for so long. My guess is that you may have a chronic lid problem that is causing eye irritation. Possible blepharitis or lid margin disease. It is ok to culture now - probably will be no growth or possible some type of resistant bacteria. You may need more attention directed to the eyelids as the source of the problem.
My significant other has caught pink eye and has had it for approximately two weeks now. In the first few days, he had the typical symptoms: redness in the eyes, a little swelling, some itching. After those few days up until now, he's become highly sensitive to light, his eye lids are very swollen, his eyes are highly irritable he can barely keep them open, and what's worse is that the thin membrane covering his eye balls appears to have 'blistered'.
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.
