I was prescribed Tobradex Ophth Susp 10ml for an eye infection with inflammation. The doctor says it's a combo of an antibiotic (tobramycin) and a steroid (dexamethasone) but I'm curious about others' experiences.

Did you notice any of the side effects, like eye irritation or blurred vision? Did you have a bad reaction, or any other unexpected issues? Also, if you had good or bad experiences, how long did it take for the meds to work? Did you keep using it after the infection cleared up, or did your doctor have you stop? I'm a bit nervous about all the stuff that can go wrong with Tobradex, so any tips on how to minimize side effects would be great. Thanks!
