Quickly, 1-2 days: The "dex" in tobradex (tobramycin and dexamethasone) is dexamethasone, a powerful steroid that clears up redness and quiets inflammation. It usually works very quickly, but you need to continue the antibiotic part of the drop to get at the underlying cause of the conjunctivitis or red eye.
