Brief Answer:
Allergic condition suspected

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.

Ciplox D is a preparation containing antibiotic and steroid.
Recurrent use of the eye drops is not recommended till infection is well proven.
Thus, I suggest you to consult an ophthalmologist for clinical assessment.
Itching in eye can occur in allergic conditions, however clinical assessment is required for diagnosis and prescription of medication.

Thanks and take care

Hello and welcome again,
Ciplox D is an antibiotic and steroid preparation.
It will not damage the eye structures, however, it is important to diagnose the condition before you use any medication.
