Ciprofloxacin eye drops are an antibiotic medication used to treat bacterial eye infections, such as conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers. As a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, ciprofloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA replication, effectively stopping the growth and spread of infection-causing bacteria. This medication is typically applied directly to the affected eye several times a day, as prescribed by a healthcare provider. Ciprofloxacin eye drops help reduce redness, swelling, and discharge, promoting faster healing and relief from symptoms.
