How Vanmycetin 1% Opticops works

This does not directly kill the bacteria, but prevents them from increasing in numbers, and eventually clears up the eye infection.

- You have been prescribed Opticol for the treatment of bacterial infections of the eye.
- Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better.
