Victoria, 31 years old
My job is related to viewing documents on a monitor. After preparing for the annual report, my eyes began to hurt a lot from overexertion. On the recommendation of a doctor, I used Vizin drops, but the price is high, and the bottle ran out quickly. The pharmacy offered an analogue of Montevisin, which I liked for its quality. It relieves discomfort, fatigue and redness well.

Every spring I have an allergy to pollen. Among the complications is allergic conjunctivitis, in which the eyelids swell and itch a lot, tears constantly appear. I tried different drugs, but stopped at Montevisin drops. It is an inexpensive analogue of Vizine with similar properties. I use it at the same time as a spray and pills, which helps me get rid of symptoms, drowsiness and swelling.
