By Kimberly K. Reed, O.D.

Release Date:

08.18.11

Expiration Date:

04.01.14

Cost:

$35.00

Goal Statement:

Here, we review the most common types of bacterial infection of the eye—blepharitis, conjunctivitis and keratitis—and discuss the most common causative organisms, pathogenesis, clinical findings and general management strategies for each infection. Additionally, we review the most commonly used antibiotic and combination antibiotic-steroid agents for the treatment of bacterial eye infections.

Bacterial eye infections can have visually devastating consequences. But, the proper use of anti-infectives and antibiotic-steroid combination agents can protect your patients' sight.
