Dexamethasone / tobramycin ophthalmic for Conjunctivitis, Bacterial "I was prescribed TobraDex drops for chronic dry eye syndrome and conjunctivitis. I developed a severe allergic reaction. My eyelids and under eye got swollen, red, itchy, and developed small bumps. I had raccoon eyes. I stopped the drops and went to my doctor. I was put on cortisone."

For Conjunctivitis, Bacterial "Came down with pink eye, which to me was viral, but I decided to see a doctor anyway because I was in pain. I saw a doctor online. He prescribed me polymyxin, which after 2 days of use was not working. It burned, and I still had all the classic symptoms of pink eye. Went to my eye doctor 4 days after the onset of pink eye symptoms, and she gave me this because I had severe swelling. She told me to take it every hour for the first day, and it should make me much more comfortable. I’m on the second day, and my eyes feel incredible! I have slight blurring, and my eyelid in one eye is still droopy and swollen, but not from this med. She said this is always her first line of defense when there is inflammation because of the steroid. My eyelids and forehead have been super itchy, but not sure if that is a side effect of this med or just from 5 days of wet eyes. But nonetheless, I’m so much more comfortable!"
