A five-day course clears the sticky, red, gritty infection in adults and children over 2. 10ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhen antibiotic drops are the answer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBacterial conjunctivitis is the one with the yellow, crusty discharge that glues the lashes by morning. Viral and allergic conjunctivitis look similar but don't respond to antibiotics — which is exactly what the questionnaire sorts out before our pharmacist approves the order. Most bacterial cases clear on their own eventually; chloramphenicol gets you there in days rather than weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne drop into the affected eye every two hours for the first two days (while awake), then every four hours, for five days in total — keep going even once the eye looks better. Wash hands before and after, don't let the dropper touch the eye, and use the ointment at night if you want overnight cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeave contact lenses out for the course and 24 hours after. Not for under-2s, or with a personal or family history of blood disorders. Eye pain, light sensitivity, blurred vision, or no improvement within 48 hours means a pharmacist, optician or GP the same day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Optrex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58052510712195,"sku":"3152709","price":7.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/9282\/0355\/files\/Optrex-Infected-Eyes-Eye-Drops__16120__04964.jpg?v=1788371274","url":"https:\/\/www.stockmymedicine.co.uk\/products\/optrex-infected-eyes-eye-drops-10ml-3152709","provider":"StockMyMedicine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
