Optigene eye ointment is used to treat bacterial infections of the eye. It contains an antibiotic that helps eliminate the bacteria causing the infection. It is used in cases of conjunctivitis, blepharitis, and minor eye injuries that may lead to bacterial contamination. It also helps reduce redness, irritation, and swelling resulting from the infection.
Optigene ointment should be applied inside the lower eyelid of the affected eye according to the doctor’s instructions. Wash your hands before and after use to avoid transferring the infection from one eye to the other. You should adhere to the recommended treatment period and not stop using the medication even if symptoms improve to avoid the return of the infection or the development of bacteria resistant to the drug.
