Tobradex vs. neo-poly-dex?

2 Feb 2012

You can most certainly ask your ophthalmologist about Tobradex. I wouldnt recommend that you flush the eye with saline but you can wash around the edges of the eye if the drops have hardened there. Use a clean laundered wash cloth and warm water. You can lay the cloth over the eye for a few minutes to loosen the debris then gently wipe the edges of your lids and the corners of your eyes. These drops have a tendency to dry in the corners of the eye and sometimes leave a white residue which is fine to remove as I mentioned. If you wear contact lenses, you might need to give your eyes a break from the contacts for a while.
