I Have Been Using Chloramphenicol 1% Ointment On My Eyes
I have been using chloramphenicol 1% ointment on my eyes for several years intermittantly for blepharitis. This was prescribed by an eye specialist, but I am now worried about such long term use. I only use one application at night when my eyes become sticky and my blinking becomes unbearable. The reason I am asking this question is because I have slight intermittent pain occasionally in one eye. The subject of this causing glaucoma came into my mind, which is the reason for my worry. I will go back to my specialist but I wondered if anyone has any ideas in the meantime? Also why is blepharitis incurable?
