Treatment Options

Ophthalmic Antibiotics

Ophthalmic antibiotics typically halt growth of bacteria and help the body's immune system to fight off the remaining bacteria causing the infection. There are several ophthalmic antibiotic options for bacterial conjunctivitis available by prescription. Ophthalmic antibiotics should never be shared with another person, and old bottles of ophthalmic antibiotics should not be used again. Your physician will determine the best treatment for your condition.
