patanol eye drops

Giant papillary conjunctivitis, help needed again.?

Well, I’ve been on drops (Patanol & Tears Naturale) for 2 months now & still have another month left as prescribed. The doctor said I could wear lenses everyday for a short period of time but I decided not to wear them until my drops duration was over.
The problem I am facing now is that –
Firstly, I live in India & getting daily disposables here is difficult because of my number. I have a very high cylindrical number in both my eyes (R -10.5 & L -9.5 with 3.75 cyl) If I use weekly disposables, which brands would you suggest?
Acuvue Oasys aren’t available here.

acuvue oasys doesnt come in that Rx anyway. in fact, no acuvue product at all comes in that Rx. there are no “daily” disposables in that Rx, either. 2-week disposables, monthly disposables, quarterly disposables and non-disposables are all thats available in that Rx.

if the GPC is significant, then antihistamines usually dont do it IMO. i almost always Rx steroids…lotemax or alrex usually. antihistamines pretty much only work on “mild” cases of GPC IMO.

the newest “review of optometry clinical guide to ophthalmic drugs” that i just read cover-to-cover this past weekend agrees with me: if there is anything more than just a very “mild” case of GPC, then steroid eyedrops are probably indicated.

p.s. i have a lengthy post about GPC on my blog…see wed june 13, 2007. link is below
