The best antibiotic for an eye infection depends on the particular kind of eye infection you have contracted! For example, there is no right antibiotic for a viral eye infection because they are ineffective for such infections. Antibiotics are typically only prescribed for bacterial infections. For bacterial eye infections, antibiotic eye drops are often prescribed. When you come to Reddy Urgent Care for bacterial eye infection treatment, our board-certified physicians will provide you with the best antibiotic possible, given your medical history, allergies you have, and any medications you are taking, to fight off the infection as safely, quickly, and thoroughly as possible!
