Reviews about Allergodil eye drops

Ekaterina, 32 years old, St. Petersburg:
Every spring I suffer from a strong allergy, one of the symptoms of the manifestation of which is conjunctivitis. When going out, she constantly hid her eyes under sunglasses, but this did not save.
The doctor prescribed me Allergodil droplets. Act almost immediately, and the effect of the drug persists for several hours. After a couple of days I was even able to put on makeup, to paint my eyes.
The only drawback - immediately after instillation appears like a veil before my eyes, blurred. And this reaction was noticed after each use of the drug. But this unpleasant side effect passes literally in a couple of minutes.

In the south, many suffer from allergic conjunctivitis, including me. Not so long ago I found a reliable assistant - the drug Allergodil drops for eyes, who I carry with me all the time. Almost instantly eliminates itching and tearing. Periodically, when applying drops, I feel a headache, blurred eyes appear.
