For conjunctivitis, the recommended eye drops depend on the cause. For bacterial infections, antibiotic drops like Ofloxacin or Moxifloxacin are used. For allergic conjunctivitis, antihistamine drops like Olopatadine are recommended, while viral conjunctivitis is managed with lubricating artificial tears.\n\nA suitable substitute for Neosporin eye ointment is Erythromycin ophthalmic ointment or Tobramycin ophthalmic ointment. Both are highly effective, well-tolerated prescription alternatives for treating bacterial eye infections. Please consult an eye specialist for an accurate diagnosis and prescription before starting any medication.
