Zaditor Eye allergy drops and breastfeeding?

I have really bad allergies and can take claritin for the nose and throat itchiness, but my eyes always stay swollen and itchy until I found zaditor. Now I'm breastfeeding and I'm not sure if I should take it. The internet says there isn't a lot of studies done with taking eye drops and the affects on breast milk or if the medicine passes through. Has anyone taken zaditor while breastfeeding, or has anyone found any antihistamine eye drops safe while breastfeeding?

My Dr prescribed patinol eyedrops because I get little blisters on my eyeball and upper eye lid inside the eye from allergies. My eye allergies are pretty severe and cause burning and itching. I am breastfeeding and patinol has been proven safe in kids 3 and up so he doesn't think it would effect my child much. Thing is my insurance won't cover it and will only cover zaditor. I'm not sure what to do because the drops are $160 for a 25 day supply. Did you end up taking the medication while breastfeeding?
