tobradex

Avatar n tn I plan on replacing all of my makeup and brushes, to prevent a reinfection. Does this sound like my problem is styes? I am including a photo of my eye. The bump on my upper eyelid appears white, but in reality it is flesh colored. The visible bump on my lower lid is flesh colored as well, and a little hard to see in the photo, it is toward the middle of my eye. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Avatar m tn By Wednesday it was worse so I went to opthamologist who disgnosed Chalazion and prescribed warm/hot compresses several tmes a day and TOBRADEX eye drops 4 x a day + TOBRADEX ointment at night. It is now Saturday, six days later, with eye worse. Does this seem like good advice? Is it usual that a Chalazion will get worse after initial appearance and after treatment has started I am away from home for work which makes me less secure about medical care.
Avatar n tn I have had a white bump on my EYEBALL for about 6 months. This bump is on the line between the white and iris, it's on both. My eye is red and the eyeball is painful. I have tried everything including Dr prescribed Polymyxin B Sulfate and Trimethoprim solution. Please advise....
Avatar n tn I am an adult and used Tobradex for an eye infection. I had adverse reactions to it and it made me sick. Ask you doctor about side effects because an infant is so small.
Avatar n tn So I saw my doctor at local clinic and he gave me a steroid antibiotic eye drop. I used it for 2 weeks then healed but styes returned again. This time I went to see the second doctor in the capital city. He said that styes might recur like this. He had it once, it took him a year to fully heal. He said I shouldn't be worried too much about it. He gave me Maxitrol, I used it for 2 weeks and again healed. But again, styes came back after 4 days.
Avatar n tn My opth has diagnosed me with blepharitis, I use sterilid w/ compresses and take flaxseed oil, and I also use preservative free eyedrops for moisture. However nothing has worked to my satisfaction besides tobradex which I've used for about a year and half- my eyelid inflammation is pretty severe even with the other treatments, however w/ tobradex my symptoms are almost nonexistent.
Avatar f tn For seven months I have had redness on my left eye, right eye completely unaffected. I was initially diagnosed with an eye infection and blepharitis. Also on my inner lower eyelid of that eye, I have a stye. It's small, but it's yellow and has not drained. It has existed the entire time. Going back to the initial diagnosis of infection--that having been treated, the redness didn't go away. I have been given the gamut of eye drops to make the redness go away. 1.
Avatar m tn 2 drops a day for 2 days after the procedure. Is it ok to use Tobradex, once a month, for 3 days at a time? Any thoughts on what could be causing my reaction? Thank you!
Avatar f tn I went to ophthalmologist and was prescribed Tobradex (antibiotic/corticosteroid). This medication helped after I used it for a couple of weeks. I stopped using it, and everything was fine for a while, my lower eyelids were back to normal, without that awful wrinkles and puffiness and redness. But in about 10-14 days the problem started again. I again used Tobradex for about 3-4 days. Everything went back to normal, but all the symptoms are back once more.
Avatar f tn The tobradex is completely out of your system after 6 days. But your symptoms are very disturbing. I would return for another exam or seek a second opinion with another ophthalmologist.
Avatar n tn My doctor(opthamologist) pescibed tobradex to be used 4X daily. I put these eye drops in as directd. I have been using them now for a month. How long do I have to use this medicine? I am also using a tobradex ointment at bedtime. Can you plesae let me know? Frank.
Avatar f tn I have been noticeing small clear bubbles forming on the inside of my lowere eyelid . I have several of them , i had some tobradex drops and used them but nothing is makeing them go away , has anyone had this problem ???
Avatar m tn that came and went on my eyelid where eye liner is applied, painful, scratchy eyes), he prescribed generic Tobradex drops which I used QID x 7D. After using the drops and coming in for a follow-up visit the following week, my vision had drastically gotten worse (the first Wednesday I went in was the line below "20/20", and a few days ago on Wednesday it was 2 lines above "20/20").
Avatar m tn Right now im taking TOBRAdex, and Hialid, way back dec2011, i had a sore eyes, then i used a MAxritol without consulting a doctor, then my eyes got irritated, then i went to CEBU Dr,Larrazabal,then he gave me hialid & frulon,, then after 5mnths it was okey.. on the last week of August 2012,i felt sometimes a blurred vision, then, i consult again to Dra. Aquiatana herein our PLACE..
Avatar n tn I used 200 milligrams a day of doxycycline for about five years to treat acne but finally stopped a couple of weeks ago, my opthm wants me to continue to use it but I've quit because of side effects, particularly the severe dryness throughout my body.
Avatar n tn This is correct. It's why lotemax was developed and why its so expensive.
Avatar n tn Nothing in this story make sense. Tobramycin is an antibiotic. cyclogel is a dilating medication. Its not used to treat infections. Few things will progress that fast to lost eyes. You need to discuss the case with the ophthalmologist and then present the case at grand rounds for discussion by all the medical attending.
Avatar m tn About 1 month ago I used tobradex drops for 10 days. Since then, my eyes have been tearing a lot and it always seems like I am 'crying'. I saw a opthamologist recently who said I have dry eye syndrome and suggested systane ultra. How can I have dry eye syndrome when my eyes are tearing so much? Could the tobradex have reduced inflammation on my tear ducts, thereby causing increase in tearing? Also my eyes are red all the time and looks like I have been smoking pot or something.
398920 tn?1218779347 My brother-in-law has had styes (multiple) in both eyes. This has been going on for at least a year. No antibiotics have helped, even with eye drops ( by prescription ). They are very painful. He is afraid he will loose his sight. Can anyone help or advise me for him?
Avatar f tn Hello, I'm being treated for "bacterial Keratitis" on the left eye. I've had the infection for about two weeks. I waited a long time to see a doctor because I don't have insurance and I thought it was pinkey and would heal on it's own. I was wrong. I finally went at cost of $140. I was diagnosed and given vigamox (4 x day) and Tobradex. The doctor insisted I come back the next day to check my pupil after dilated. So, I paid another $140 for that exam.
Avatar f tn My Dr. wants to see me in 3 weeks, he is hopeing the restasis is going to make my eyes have more moisture. My eyes are still blurry they are every day, and they hurt.
Avatar f tn Oh my gosh, I FREAK OUT and make an appointment with the Ophthalmologist I went to before. He tells me this is a normal reaction to using Tobradex for a long time. He prescribed me Vigomox and Keflex tablets. It takes a week for my eye to go back to "normal" i.e slightly swollen and watery. I give up. I used organic baby shampoo (free of dyes, perfume, ect.) diluted in water 2-3x a day.
Avatar f tn I've developed sties in both eyes about 5 months ago. My the "head" of the left eye still is swollen and red from the stye, though it doesn't really hurt anymore. As for my right eye, when it was infected again 5 months ago, it looked as if it was hit by 3 styes in a row, with white heads all over the lower lid. When the infection resolved, it gave way to a pimple near my lower lashes that would produce pus from time to time.
Avatar m tn oh ok thank you. then which drops are used for scratched eyes? would the whole eye need to be red if it were scratched? are there any other symptoms of a scratched eye? are there any anti-viral eye drops?
Avatar f tn Although they were both negative i am still concerned for what is going on now. I have gotten eye styes for the last 3-4 months, off and on which I have never had and I have a small rash on my right inner elbow at the bend. I hope Dr that you can help aleviate my fear so that I may attempt to move on from this.
Avatar f tn My dermatologist did a full body check last Tuesday and told me I have Rosacea both on my face (only on my nose) and Occular Rosacea. I have been having recurrent styes for years in one eye. He put me on Oracea (Doxycycline 40mg time released) and I've taken it for 5 days. Late last night I noticed a stye sensation in the same place as usual and see one is forming on the inside of the lower lid. How long does it take for the antibiotic to prevent more styes?
177275 tn?1511755244 Your best prevention of styes is to remove this oil by using one of the products available without a prescription on a daily basis. At present I think the best product is Ocusoft Plus Platinum eyelid cleaner. You can order it on the internet: http://www.ocusoft.com/ocusoft-lid-scrub-plus-platinum-foam-50ml-2 Also use warm compresses applied with a reusable, reheatable eye pad twice/day: lots of effective and inexpensive ones available example: https://www.google.com/webhp?
Avatar m tn I got worried and went to a urgent care and met a general physician, he prescribed me Gentak eye ointment and I used it for 2 days and the eyes got well. Now, again it started from few days the eyes becoming red and feels irritating, and this time I went to a ophthalmologist yesterday and he prescribed TOBRADEX and he said vision and everything is good and it seems to be an infection (conjunctivitis).
