How Long The Blurred Vision After Using Gentamicin Sulfate Ophthalmic Last?
I m taking gentamicin sulfate ophthalmic for bacterial conjunctivitis & corneal ulcer. My question is how long will this blurred vision last? Also, the light sensitivity is unbearable the 1st 30 mins or so after each dose. Is that normal? Thanks, Turtle Major

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having blurred vision following treatment for corneal ulcer.
Gentamycin will not cause blurred vision and it is because of corneal ulcer.
The blurred vision will decrease once the ulcer heals. But if the ulcer leaves behind a corneal opacity it requires treatment of the corneal opacity.
Thank you
