The new agent, which was developed based on Toyama Chemical's antibacterial agent Ozex Tablet, is indicated for the treatment of various eye infections such as blephartits, dacryocystitis, and
hordeolum.
The external
hordeolum (common stye) is an inflammatory disease caused by an acute staphylococcal infection of the glands of Zeis and Moll (Table 1) (Figure l) within the margin of the eyelid.
Associated with such changes, there is an increased risk of corneal abrasion, blepharitis, chalazion and
hordeolum in TBI, while subconjunctival haemorrhage and ptosis are more prevalent in CVA.
A
hordeolum, or sty, may be associated with rosacea; look for ancillary papules and pustules on other parts of the face to help make the diagnosis, said Dr.
