The original ointment contains three different antibiotics: bacitracin, neomycin, and polymyxin B, in a relatively low-molecular-weight patented base of cocoa butter, cottonseed oil, sodium pyruvate, tocopheryl acetate, and petroleum jelly.eosporin is for external use only and should not go near mucus membranes such as the eyes or mouth. Neosporin is not recommended for children under the age of two. There are no known side effects when using Neosporin, however users should immediately seek medical attention when experiencing hives, rashes, or itching.
Fluid is made in the ciliary body and exists the trabecular meshwork drain. If more aqueous fluid fills the globe and can't exit fast enough, then the eye pressure will increase. This ocular pressure is transmitted back to the optic nerve head and causes mechanical strain leading to glaucomatous changes and cell death.
If your eye doctor tells you that you have increased eye pressure but your optic nerve is not damaged, then you do not have glaucoma. Not every person with elevated pressure will develop the disease, either. Some people with high pressure never develop glaucoma because their optic nerve can tolerate the pressure. A high level of eye pressure may be normal for some people, but it is important for an eye care professional to determine what level is normal for you.
