Eye infections, including bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye), can affect one or both eyes and cause redness, irritation, excessive tearing, and sticky discharge. Bacterial forms are highly contagious and can be spread through contact with hands or contaminated surfaces.
Treatment for bacterial eye infections typically includes antibiotic eye drops or ointment such as Chloramphenicol. These help eliminate the bacteria and reduce symptoms like itching, discharge, and redness within a few days.
A prescriber will review your symptoms, duration, and severity to determine the best course of treatment. Prompt management helps reduce discomfort and limits the risk of spreading the infection to others.
Chloramphenicol is commonly prescribed and available in both drops and ointment form. The drops are used during the day, while the ointment is often recommended at night for longer-lasting coverage while you sleep.
To avoid reinfection, it’s important to practise good hygiene—wash your hands regularly, avoid touching your eyes, and do not share towels or makeup. Contact lenses should be avoided during treatment.
Ordering eye infection treatment online is straightforward. Select your preferred medication, complete a short online consultation, and a licensed UK prescriber will assess your case. If approved, your treatment is dispatched discreetly and delivered quickly across the UK.
