Irritation of the eyes and redness is not always a sign of infection. A single medication that is effective against all causes of infection does not exist. Your doctor must specifically target treatment. Usually, you will notice improvement from your illness within the first few days of treatment. If it gets worse, in spite of using the treatment according to instructions, you should call your doctor, since the infectious organism may be resistant to the medication or you may have an allergic reaction to the medication.
Eye drops are just as much tools of modern medicine as any of the wonder drugs of today.
They should not be underestimated in their effectiveness or potential dangers. They should be used as directed, placed correctly and in sufficient quantity. A healthy respect for these powerful medications will help us to safeguard your eyesight.
