This remedy was prescribed to me by an ophthalmologist, who discovered my conjunctivitis. I did not want to go to the doctor for a long time, but circumstances eventually forced me. It all began almost imperceptibly - a slight itch and burning, reddening of the proteins.
At first I thought it was because of the computer, but when the whites were completely red, and my eyes did not stop watering, there was nowhere to go.
I bought eye drops in the pharmacy Maxitrol - 5 milliliters for 280 rubles. It was easy to use the remedy, it was facilitated by a rather convenient bottle. To get the result, I needed to drip one drop into each eye every two hours for two weeks.
I noticed a positive effect immediately after instillation, but it did not last long - only about one hour. Drops removed the main symptoms - the sensation of sand in the eyes and burning, reddening of the proteins.
As a result of using the drug for a week the condition of the eyes improved, I buried them less often, because I simply forgot about my problem. At the end of the course of treatment, everything disappeared and still nothing hurts.
Because the drug ran out very quickly, I had to buy two bottles for two weeks. The medicine is expensive, but effective.

Not so long ago I had to stand for a while in a draft. A sad result did not make you wait and was manifested in the form of two barley on the lower and upper eyelids. I think that many will agree with me - this is a very unpleasant phenomenon.
Naturally, I went to the hospital, where the doctor appointed me to use eye drops Maxitrol one drop three times a day for a week. This drug is combined and has an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect.

It's clear that these two barley brought me huge inconveniences, and I bought the drops with the hope that they would help get rid of this problem. To dribble their beginnings immediately upon arrival home.
After about two hours, my eyes reddened even more, and even started to itch. Feelings are still, if all this added to the already existing problem - the eye itches, and it hurt to scratch. So I went to the ophthalmologist again. He told me: "What did you want? An allergy can be on any drug, "and prescribed another treatment.
When the same drops were prescribed to my daughter, I did not risk it, and, explaining the situation, I asked to prescribe another medicine.
