About Exid D Eye Drop

Exid D Eye Drop is a combination of antibiotic and steroid medication used to treat a post-operative inflammatory condition of the eye. Besides this, it is also used to treat bacterial eye infections. Bacterial eye infection occurs when pathogenic bacteria enter any eye portion, including the eyeball, conjunctiva, and cornea.
