Yes, they also do the Loratadine tabs which is the active ingredient in Clarityn, suppose to be non-drowsy. 69p for 30 days.

I also suffer from hayfever, though I rarely get itchy eyes, its mainly a runny nose, repeatedly sneezing and feeling cr*p.

I'm going to give these Cetirizine tabs a try from Chemist Direct. Only 28p for 30 days supply, they are suppose to be similar to Zirtek which I got on well with.

Ah OK so this is not only a steroid drop but also an anti-inflammatory. How is your eye now after stopping the Lumigan, has the dry, sore and itchyness calmed down? I seem to be getting on nicely with the Lotemax, makes my life easier taking less drops. The dryness and pressure also seem to be fine....

Hi, Stopped the weights after my little episode (for now!) and am more careful when playing with my dog, you live and learn :D Just had another consultation, my second this month and one to follow before the end! I've been removed from all my current drops (Dexamethasone, Lumigan and Celluvisc) in f...

Hi, I had a broken stitch removed about two weeks ago. The doc put in a few drops of the yellow anaesthetic and removed it with tweezers. I could barely feel what was going on, which was good. My eye was sore from how I broke my stitch, so after the anaesthetic wore off, I still had the soreness. Yo...

Haven't been on in a few weeks, doesn't time fly! My absence hasn't gone without hiccups, all my doing! On a good note, I've been away for a week, a greatly needed break. Yes Rosemary, that's a nice definition, an inflated balloon is what it felt like. It's true that I didn't feel it when I was out ...

Once again, thanks Rosemary, a very informative post. Quite shocking as to how many drops there are :o I can rest more easily knowing that the pressure part can happen to anyone regardless of graft or not. This might be a daft question but worth asking I guess. When your pressure is higher than norm...

Hi Chaz and congratulations :D As to the light sensitivity, mine went down dramatically towards the end of the second week and by the third it was completely gone. If you really feel up to going back to work, maybe you can have a word with your employer to go back part-time and then gradually increa...

Hi Rosemary, many thanks for sharing your experience. I too am on the Lumigan drops (once at night) as I seem to be sensitive to the dexamethasone. You were on dex hourly for a whole week!? :o I was on it hourly just for one night and found that hard, a week and I would have ripped my graft out lol!...

I wear an RGP lens, I had to pay £51 (ish) for the single one.

If your a full-time student or on benefits etc, you should get them free (quite similar to getting a prescription medicine I believe).
