There are no eye drops for the elderly.
Common eye diseases in the elderly are usually caused by bacterial or viral infections, such as inflammation, dry eye, and elevated intraocular pressure, etc. Commonly used eye drops are antibiotic eye drops, antiviral eye drops, artificial tears eye drops, and eye drops for lowering intraocular pressure, etc. These eye drops can be used for people of any age.
1. Antibiotic eye drops: If bacterial infection causes bacterial keratitis, conjunctivitis and other lesions in the elderly, you can consider using topical antibiotic eye drops, such as levofloxacin eye drops and tobramycin eye drops.
2. Antiviral eye drops: because of viral infections that lead to viral keratitis, conjunctivitis and other lesions, you can consider topical antiviral eye drops, such as acyclovir eye drops, ganciclovir ophthalmic gel and so on.
3. Artificial tears: For dry eyes caused by blepharoplakic dysfunction, you can consider using topical artificial tears eye drops, such as sodium vitrate eye drops and polyvinyl alcohol eye drops.
4. Eye drops for lowering intraocular pressure: If glaucoma occurs in the eyes, you can consider eye drops for lowering intraocular pressure, such as timolol eye drops.
It is recommended that the elderly eye discomfort, timely to the regular hospital for examination, follow the doctor’s instructions for medication.
