Conjunctivitis
Conjunctivitis (pink eye) refers to infection of the conjunctiva, which can be caused by bacteria, viruses and allergy. Patients suffered from conjunctivitis may experience production of yellow or greenish yellow discharge in the eyes or eyelids being stuck together. Contact lens wearers are at a higher risk of conjunctivitis. Antibiotic eye drops can be used to treat conjunctivitis caused by bacteria.
Antibiotics
Fluoroquinolones (e.g. Ofloxacin, Levofloxacin) are the first-line antibiotics for bacterial conjuntivitis. They are active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Aminoglycosides (e.g. Gentamicin, Tobramycin) are active against Gram-negative bacteria. Tobramycin is also active against Staphylococcus aureus.
Some antibiotic eye drops may contain corticosteroids (e.g. Dexamethasone). Viral conjunctivitis must be excluded before the use of eye drops containing corticosteroids since corticosteroids may aggravate eye infections.
