Eye drops can ease itchy, red, or watery eyes by washing allergens from the eye (as with Bausch & Lomb's Advanced Eye Relief Eye Wash) or by acting as an antihistamine (as in the case of Visine-A, Patanol and Optivar).
In the US, it is marketed under the trade name of Patanol.
FDA stated that Alcon's journal ads for Patanol (olopatadine HCL ophthalmic) lacked fair balance because risk information was presented in "difficult-to-read block text a the bottom of the page" whereas benefit information was presented in bolded, colored and bulleted text.
