A member asked:
My doctor said to use cipro (ciprofloxacin) eye medicine for both eyes but only right eye is affected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
As of now: Although only one is affected now chances are good that your other eye if not infected now soon will be. Better to prevent infection in that eye.
