I'm having elective eye surgery and will be prescribed tobramycin eye drops and eye ointment. Does the FDA Black Box Warning apply to eye drops and ointment as far as the *possibility* of ototoxicity, neurotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, even C. dff.? I understand that drops and ointment are not systemically absorbed .... but is there the POSSIBILITY of adverse effects? Because I have a serious medical history and I don't want to take any chances for an *elective* surgery. Thank you so much!
