What is the eye medication usually used for eye infection?

Bacitracin Ophthalmic
Neomycin
Gentamicin
Ofloxacin

The correct answer is: Bacitracin Ophthalmic

Bacitracin Ophthalmic is commonly used for the treatment of eye infections, particularly bacterial infections. It is an antibiotic that functions by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, making it effective against certain types of bacterial pathogens that can infect the eye. This medication is often applied as an ointment directly to the conjunctival sac, providing localized treatment at the site of infection. In this context, while other medications listed may also be used for eye infections, Bacitracin is specifically recognized for its use in treating superficial ocular infections caused by susceptible strains of bacteria. This targeted use is what makes it a standard choice for practitioners when dealing with eye infections.
