No, it is not safe to use Moxiflox daily. Moxiflox is a strong antibiotic eye drop meant only for treating bacterial infections. Using it long-term for simple irritation can lead to antibiotic resistance and corneal damage. Since your irritation is caused by physical cotton dust rather than an infection, a lubricating eye drop like Lubrex is a much safer and more appropriate choice for daily use. Lubrex will help flush out the dust particles and soothe your dry, irritated eyes. Additionally, I highly recommend wearing protective safety goggles at work to prevent dust from entering your eyes. If irritation persists, please consult an ophthalmologist
