GoldenEye® stops bacteria from growing and multiplying, controlling the numbers causing the eye infection and helping to relieve your symptoms. The remaining bacteria die or are killed by your body’s immune system.

For adults and children aged 2 years and over:
A 5 day course of treatment:
If you are using just the eye ointment, apply about 1cm of ointment to the affected eye(s) 3 to 4 times a day.
If you are using Chloramphenicol eye drops during the day and the eye ointment at night – apply the ointment at night, before going to bed.
