If you have a bacterial infection, an antibiotic drop may help. Many eye infections are caused by a virus such as adenovirus. These infections will run their course without medication. You can use an artificial teardrop to soothe your eyes. Of course, there are serious viral infections that require treatment such as herpes, zoster and covid. Please contact your eye doctor for advice that is tailored to your specific condition. Rona Z.

It is important to diagnose the cause of your symptoms. After a diagnosis has been made a specific drop can be prescribed or recommended.
