Question:
What is a recommended eyedrop for a possible corneal abrasion at least until a doctor can be seen?
Answer:
The recommended eyedrop is a broad-spectrum antibiotic to prevent an infection from developing. This will require a prescription so it is important to see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible. Artificial tears can help with the discomfort from an abrasion but will do little to prevent an infection.
