A 40-year-old member asked: 1 doctor answer • 3 doctors weighed in Ophthalmology 21 years experience Eye scratch: I recommend seeing either an ophthalmologist (a medical doctor specializing in medical and surgical treatment of eye diseases) or an optometrist (an eye doctor) regarding your scratch. Tobradex (tobramycin and dexamethasone) is an antibiotic/steroid combination -- a professional should evaluate your "scratch" prior to prescribing the correct medication. Improper use of antibiotics and/or steriods could worsen symptoms. 4.9k viewsReviewed >2 years ago Similar questionsA 37-year-old member asked: There's something is in my eye or it's scratched; can I use the tobradex (tobramycin and dexamethasone) I got last year?1 doctor answer • 1 doctor weighed in
