Kitten scratched my eyeball. is it safe to use polymyxinb sulfate trimethoprim ophthalmic solution usp to make sure no infection. ?

Should be: Again, should be safe unless you have an allergy. This type of injury should be seen by an eye MD. The antibiotic drops treat only bacteria that are susceptible to them, so it certainly is not a guarantee. There are bacteria resistant to each antibiotic. Also, fungal infections are not treated with antibiotics; they have their own special medicines.
