on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the worse possible itch, mine was a 9. Within minutes of applying the drops, I had total relief. It was too good to be true, but it really did work. Over the years I've had a lot of problems with itching in my eyes. This is the FIRST time I've found something that totally relieved the itching.

I was given this as a prescription by my eye doctor. It is prohibitively expensive and through my insurance I had to pay $50 for a tiny bottle. It did seem to work well the first time I used it two months ago. In the past few days I had the same allergic conjunctivitis symptoms and used again. My eyes are so red and inflamed it is scary. I called my allergist after hours and they are calling in a...

Three months ago my eyes became red and irritated after using Lastacaft thinking it would help some minor irritation due to possible allergies or dry eye syndrome. My eyes worsened with continued use. I finally went to an immediate care center where I was treated with Ofloxacin. My eyes eventually improved. I had never attributed the redness and irritation to Lastacaft until recently. I used Lastacaft drops again and noticed my eyes became bloody red again in a matter of hours. Now I know that Lastacaft was the cause of the problem. No more Lastacaft drops for me. Read More Read Less

Worst allergic reaction ever! A month of rash, red eyes, then breathing affected and incredibly itchy eyes and face throat swelled. The red eyes from this are a negative reaction not a transition like my doctor said.

It's so expensive even though pharmacy requires prior authorization from ins co for Medicare to pay. Insurance did pay all but 15.00. I find this quite criminal to charge so much for a few tiny drops and I'm not sure if I need more in eyes but don't want to use too much. Is there gold in the solution?

I paid $70.00 with insurance. Expensive. Notice clarity of vision immediately. I have chronic dry eyes. After having my ducts opened I was put on this. So far my vision has improved after only one application. I hope this gets even better as time goes on but I hope I don't need it too much longer as it will be very expensive to maintain.

After months of using this drug it began to exacerbate my eye problem. I stopped using for 2-3 months and experienced gradual improvement. I have recently had a flare up and tried Lastacaft again. My eyes burned horribly, became very red and the clear eye membrane swelled up. It was an obvious and dramatic reaction to the drops.

I called my allergist after hours and they are calling in a prescription for Pataday for me but suggested I call the office tomorrow and make an appointment to be seen because I may need steroidal drops to clear this up. Waste of money and will never use this drug again. Read More Read Less

TO ALL PERSONS COMPLAINING OF TROUBLES WITH DROPS, ATTENTION: Each & every medication given to anyone, remember the doctor is doing an EXPERIMENT on each person. No one on earth knows how each person will react to a medication. Doctors pray & hope that you react as most normal react, & have a good reaction. BUT, bad things can also happen. If you cannot predict or tell your doctor how your eye will react, neither can a doctor. So let us all pray & hope for the best.

Drops are good but Allergan should be embarrassed to charge the prohibited amount for this tiny container which holds maybe 10 drops at best! The box it comes in could fit about 3 of these tiny containers. It is a disgrace. We have a great rx plan and still paid $25.00.

I used this for about 2 weeks and then developed a case of severely red eyes and swollen eyelids. I thought I had caught a pink eye infection, but after reading the reviews, I think it may have been this expensive drug.

It worked well for my infection, but I lost almost all of my eye lashes after the third use. So will not use again.

the first 2 weeks were fine while using the sample. then after purchasing my prescription it seems that my eyes burn, feel dry and irritated, and are red more than usual. I had to stop the eye drops and am hopeful the symptoms resolve.

Both wife and husband used this medicine on two different prescriptions for allergy in eyes. Both had severe burning when used and the swollen, red, irritated eyes the next day. Both discontinued after one day of treatment because of discomfort to the extreme.

USING LASTACAFT WAS THE WORST MEDICAL EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I was prescribed Lastacaft after ptosis and blepharoplasty surgery. Swelling persisted for 2-3 months but the surgeon said I was a "slow healer." I ran out of the drops and was doing OK at a follow-up when she insisted I resume. Shortly thereafter I developed a SEVERE allergic reaction that was eventually treated by a second doctor in the same shop with Prednisilone and Lotemax ointment ($125 for a 3.5 gram tube!!) and a visit a week, with no relief. Finally after two months of agony the doc says "Hey, you might be allergic to the Lastacaft!" I discontinued it and a week later all redness, swelling, tearing, and pain had vanished. What a bright boy he was to figure this out. Now surgery results look great, but I endured weeks of unnecessary torment. Moral of the story: Never combine active ingredient meds in case one masks another; don't be afraid of discontinuing immediately if a med doesn't work even if it was expensive. Oh, and look around for a new doctor who knows his rear end from a hole in the ground.Read More Read Less
