My wife has been experiencing pain and irritation in her left eye since last night. She tried Oflokem eye drops, but they did not help. What other eye drops or medicines would you recommend?
Please stop using Oflokem immediately. Oflokem is an antibiotic and will not help if the irritation is caused by a viral infection, allergy, dry eyes, or a foreign object. Using unprescribed medicated drops can worsen her condition. Since eye pain can indicate serious issues like a corneal scratch, inflammation, or increased eye pressure, she needs a proper physical examination. I strongly advise consulting an ophthalmologist (eye specialist) today. For temporary relief before the appointment, she may use preservative-free lubricating eye drops (artificial tears), but do not start any other medicated drops without a professional evaluation.
