  • Are penicillin and clindamycin used in the antibiotic eye drops prescribed after cataract surgery?


    Question:

    I am allergic to penicillin and clindamycin. Are either of these used in the antibiotic eye drops prescribed after cataract surgery?


    Answer:

    It is quite unlikely that those antibiotics would be prescribed after surgery. But it's always important to remind your medical care team of your allergies.
