Antibiotic Medications in Eye Care

Antibiotic eye medications are an indispensable tool in optometric practice, providing effective treatment for a range of bacterial infections including bacterial conjunctivitis, corneal ulcers, and blepharitis. These medications are also crucial for preventing postoperative infections following ocular surgeries such as cataract removal or LASIK/PRK. The variety of antibiotic treatments available, from eye drops to ointments and oral medications, allows eye care professionals to select the most appropriate medication based on the specific pathogen and infection severity.
