October 04, 2021 Optometry Podcast: Pataday® Family of Products: Prescription Strength Relief, Available OTC

This podcast is sponsored by Alcon. Defocus Media and Dr. Eric Donnenfeld were compensated by Alcon for their participation.

For many patients, ocular allergy itch is a real problem. About 66 million Americans suffer with ocular allergies each year1 and this time of the year, Spring, is when allergies are bad for many people.2 Itchy eyes is the most common symptom of eye allergies3,4 and can negatively impact quality of life.5-8

The Pataday Family of OTC products were designed to address ocular allergy symptoms at the source and feature the same dual-action prescription formulations we have been prescribing for years to provide the relief our patients need. On this episode, Drs. Lyerly and Glover are joined by Dr. Eric Donnenfeld from Garden City, NY, to discuss how the Pataday Family of OTC products–and a strong ECP recommendation– can allow our patients to continue to get the ocular allergy symptom relief they need.
