“What eye drops help with an eye infection?”

Treating an eye infection typically involves the repeated use of doctor-prescribed antibiotic eye drops. If you notice symptoms such as persistent redness, swollen eyes, blurred vision, pain, discomfort, or a white, yellow, or green discharge, it’s crucial to seek prompt care from an eye care professional. Eye infections may require different treatments based on their underlying cause. Seeking early treatment is essential to prevent the condition from worsening and to avoid potentially sight-threatening complications.

This question has no answer because it depends upon if it's a bacterial infection or viral infection or combination, or a postoperative infection after cataract surgery for example. One would need a lot more information in order to answer this question. The infection of the cornea which is known as keratitis is treated differently than an infection of the conjunctive which is commonly known as pink eye.

Antibiotic eye drops are used to treat eye infections but you should always be evaluated by an eye care professional. You should always have the cornea examined microscopically to ensure there is no sign of corneal ulceration.

Examination and clinical history will also help ensure that the infection is bacterial and not viral, or that the infection does not stem from the eyelids which requires different therapy.

There are also other conditions that can mimic the symptoms of eye infections, such as dry eye and allergies. In all cases, an eye care professional can determine the best therapy.

This question can only be answered by knowing what type of infection you may have, and there can be many. Do you have a bacterial infection which is treated with antibiotic eye drops? Do you have an allergic or viral conjunctivitis? Do you have a conjunctivitis, a scratched cornea, or a turned-in eye lash which all can cause red eyes and are all treated differently? Is there an internal eye problem such as a uveitis which can be more serious? My best suggestion for you is to see an eye doctor ASAP in order to have whatever is wrong properly evaluated and treated. Good luck and best wishes.
