The best antibiotic for an eye infection depends on what the offending germ is and what part of the eye is involved. For example, conjunctivitis may be viral, bacterial, fungal, sterile or mixed. An allergic conjunctivitis might be treated with an antihistamine or steroid while some bacterial infections respond to a fluoroquinolone while others resolve on gentamicin. It is impossible to generalize.
After a proper examination your doctor will identify the best antibiotic for your condition.
