Eye infections such as conjunctivitis (pink eye) and keratitis, caused by bacteria, are typically treated with ofloxacin eye drops. Your doctor will decide if these eyedrops are right for you, but they are effective against many bacterial eye infections.

Pink eye, also known as conjunctivitis, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin, clear membrane that covers the white of the eye. Keratitis is when the clear front part of the eye becomes infected or inflamed

How does it work?

Ofloxacin is an antibiotic that prevents the spread of bacteria by stopping their reproduction. It does this by interfering with the enzymes that bacteria need to replicate their DNA. As the bacteria can not replicate their DNA, they are wiped out by the immune system to cure the infection.

What are the dosage forms of Ofloxacin eye drops?

Ofloxacin eye drops are typically available in a sterile ophthalmic solution. They come in small plastic bottles with a dropper tip for easy application to the eye in a strength of 0.3%.

How to use Ofloxacin eye drops?

The following are overarching guidelines for administering Ofloxacin eye drops, but it is critical to adhere to the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider or printed on the label of your medication.

Before applying the eye drops, wash your hands and ensure they are dry. Make a small pouch by pulling down your lower eyelid while looking up and tilting your head backward. 

Keep your hand away from your eye while you squeeze the required number of drops from the eye drop bottle into the pocket you made in your lower eyelid. 

Keep the dropper’s tip away from your eye to avoid getting any bacteria in your eye. Close your eyes gently after the drops have been administered. Wipe out any excess medication that may have dropped on your face.
