Dear customer,
Antibiotic eyedrops or ointment may be prescribed or placed in your eye or eyes. Some ophthalmologists may use
steroid or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory eyedrops to reduce inflammation and to avoid potential scarring.The common ones used are
oflox,
ciplox, etc
The eyedrops to stop eye muscle spasm may be placed into your eyes . These drops may relieve your pain and your sensitivity to light, but they may also cause blurring of vision.The commonly prescribed ones are atropine,
homatropine, cyclopentolate, etc
The eye may or may not be patched by your ophthalmologist. Recent evidence shows that patching the eye probably does not help and may actually have a negative impact on the healing process. Whichever choice your ophthalmologist makes, it is not likely to be a significant issue. Your ophthalmologist may have specific reasons for your treatment based on the specific circumstances of your case. If you are in doubt about the ophthalmologist's decision, ask him or her why a certain choice has been made.
Although
anesthetic eyedrops may be used to immediately relieve the
eye pain at the time of your examination, these drops cannot be prescribed for you to use at home because they interfere with the natural healing process.
You should consult the ophthalmologist and start the specific treatment for the injured
cornea as it may take 3-7 days for the healing to take place.
thank you
