Overview Zentob Eye Ointment

Opticlear antibiotic ointment effectively combats bacterial eye infections such as conjunctivitis and blepharitis, and helps prevent post-surgical or injury-related infections. Its antibacterial action eliminates the infection. Always adhere strictly to your ophthalmologist's application instructions. Allow a minimum five-minute interval before applying other ophthalmic medications. Maintain a consistent dosing schedule as prescribed, completing the entire course even with symptom improvement. Premature discontinuation risks recurrence or exacerbation of the infection. Opticlear is ineffective against non-bacterial (e.g., viral) infections and should only be used under a doctor's supervision. Overuse of antibiotics diminishes their future efficacy. Minor temporary side effects may include burning, itching, redness, and irritation. Persistent symptoms or worsening condition warrants immediate medical attention. Transient blurred vision may occur initially; avoid driving immediately after application. Refrain from wearing contact lenses during treatment and while the infection persists.
