Thank you so much.I just had cataract surgery on first eye.This is very helpful in getting precise directions for using the drops.
Extremely clearly articulated
Thank you...this infoŕmation was quite helpful and extr😮emely clearly articulayed.
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!
