A member asked:
Does it mean my eye is infected if i put polysporin (bacitracin and polymyxin) drops in my eye and it stings and turns red?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Any eyedrop can potentially cause some burning and stinging when instilled in the eyes, particularly if the eye is irritated or inflamed to begin with.
