A member asked:
Not 100 percent sure if i have pink eye should i use the polysporin (bacitracin and polymyxin) eye drops or could it damage my eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: If your eye gets red but 1)the vision is ok and 2)there is no pain or pus, then you can try the polysporin (bacitracin and polymyxin) which is a good antibiotic. If the problem persists (take out your contacts if you are wearing them), then see your ophthalmologist.
