✔️ Bacterial eye infections:

Bacterial eye infections are the common eye problems seen in a primary care setting. The common eye problems are conjunctivitis (inflammation of the conjunctiva), style (bump on the eyelid), and keratitis (inflammation of the cornea). The risk for eye infection is high in post-operative patients or patients who have undergone Lasik, cataract, or other eye surgeries.  

✔️ Pharmacology

• Gatifloxacin: Inhibits DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, essential enzymes for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, and repair, leading to bactericidal activity.
• Dexamethasone: Inhibits phospholipase A2, the first step in prostaglandin synthesis, and prevents chemotactic infiltration of neutrophils at inflammation sites. It is 30 times more anti-inflammatory and 8-10 times more therapeutically effective than hydrocortisone, with anti-allergic, anti-exudative, and anti-proliferative properties.
