Antibiotic eye drops are medications used to treat bacterial infections in the eyes. They work by killing or inhibiting the growth of bacteria, helping to alleviate symptoms such as redness, swelling, and discharge. Common conditions treated with these drops include conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers.
These eye drops are typically prescribed by a healthcare professional and should be used as directed. It's important to complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to ensure the infection is fully cleared. Side effects may include temporary stinging or blurred vision after application.
