Can I use Neosporin on my eyes?

Question

Someone told me that it could help an eye infection and that it's perfectly safe on the eyes in small doses... but I don't know, I've never heard of it. What do you think?

Answer 1

I wouldn't even try. Ask a doctor to be sure.

Answer 2

I don't know where you live, but the answer is yes and no.  There are bureaucratic reasons why neosporin ointment says not to use in the eye.  Applying the ointment to eyelashes while the eye is closed will allow the ointment to "melt" and mix with your tears.  This is treatment for certain eye infections.  However, my concern is with the higher rate of allergic reactions to the neomycin found in Neosporin.  If things get worse it would be difficult to tell if the infection is getting worse or if you were experiencing a reaction to the neomycin.  Polysporin ointment would be a better choice.

Best bet:  Follow your doctor's advice, since identifying the type of infection is very, very important.

Answer 3
