Dexamethasone / tobramycin ophthalmic for Conjunctivitis, Bacterial "TobraDex did the trick. First day: 65% improvement, then 10% better each day forward. By the 4th day, the infection and swelling were gone. The drops lasted for 10 days. I did have slightly blurry vision for the entire period, which could be the result of me digging out my eyeballs prior to filling the prescription. I would use it again, no problem."

Dexamethasone / tobramycin ophthalmic for Conjunctivitis, Bacterial "I used to have red eyes caused by allergic conjunctivitis and infection, the doctor told me to use TobraDex 4 times a day for 2 weeks. My eyes were really bad, after 2 days, my eyes got better. Tomorrow it's my last day, and I will come back to the doctor. I notice my sight is a little blurry when I try to see things far, things that did not use to happen before. Before, I used to have 20/20 vision, and now I feel it's lower."

Dexamethasone / tobramycin ophthalmic for Postoperative Ocular Inflammation "I was prescribed TobraDex ointment to put on my eyelids after eye surgery. I had a lot of bruising and swelling, and the medication seemed to help. No adverse side effects, but if you get it in your eye, it will blur your vision slightly for a couple of hours (I think due to the greasy consistency more than anything else). My co-pay for a 7-day supply cost $50."

For Conjunctivitis, Bacterial "Don’t recommend this at all! I was using the eye ointment as prescribed by my doctor and developed swelling of the upper and lower eyelids. Also got blurred vision and a weakening of the upper eyelid skin and muscles. Stopped using the ointment on day 4 and still waiting for the eye bags under my eyes to go! Really hoping it’s not permanent! Would not recommend, as side effects seem to be very serious and common!"

Dexamethasone / tobramycin ophthalmic for Conjunctivitis, Bacterial "I had an allergic reaction to sulfur in another eye drop. My eye was blurry, not being able to see more than ten feet. This eye drop helped me see."
