Efficacy of olopatadine HCI 0.1%, ketotifen fumarate 0.025%, epinastine HCI 0.05%, emedastine 0.05% and fluorometholone acetate 0.1% ophthalmic solutions for seasonal allergic conjunctivitis: a placebo-controlled environmental trial. [2009.08]
PURPOSE: We aimed to compare the clinical efficacy and ocular surface variables of olopatadine, ketotifen fumarate, epinastine, emedastine and fluorometholone acetate ophthalmic solutions in preventing the signs and symptoms of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC)... CONCLUSIONS: In patients with SAC, olopatadine, ketotifen, epinastine and emedastine are more efficacious than fluorometholone acetate in preventing itching and redness. All the antiallergic agents gave similar results in terms of reducing tearing, chemosis and eyelid swelling. Our data showed that impression cytology parameters improved after treatment with antiallergic agents in patients with SAC.

Evaluation of the effects of olopatadine ophthalmic solution, 0.2% on the ocular surface of patients with allergic conjunctivitis and dry eye. [2008.02]
PURPOSE: Olopatadine hydrochloride 0.2% (Pataday, Alcon, Fort Worth, USA) is a topical ocular anti-allergic agent that has shown high rates of efficacy in treating ocular itching, the primary symptom of allergic conjunctivitis, and allows for once-daily dosing. Since some patients suffer from signs or symptoms of dry eye in addition to ocular allergy, this study was designed to evaluate the safety of olopatadine 0.2% in a population of patients with both allergic conjunctivitis and dry eye... CONCLUSION: As there were no significant changes in the signs and symptoms of dry eye, olopatadine hydrochloride 0.2% is safe to use in ocular allergy patients with mild-to-moderate dry eye.

Efficacy of once-daily olopatadine 0.2% ophthalmic solution compared to twice-daily olopatadine 0.1% ophthalmic solution for the treatment of ocular itching induced by conjunctival allergen challenge. [2007.12]
Olopatadine 0.1% (Patanol) and olopatadine 0.2% (Pataday) ophthalmic solutions are topical ocular anti-allergic agents with antihistaminic and mast cell stabilizing properties. The efficacy of two doses of olopatadine 0.1% was compared to one dose of olopatadine 0.2% in the prevention of ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis over 24 hours...

Safety and tolerability of olopatadine 0.2% in children and adolescents. [2007.08]
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of olopatadine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution 0.2% in children and adolescents 3-17 years of age... CONCLUSIONS: Olopatadine 0.2% administered once-daily for 6 weeks is safe and well tolerated in children and adolescent patients.
