Alight 10 mL Eye Drop

Alight 10 mL Eye Drop is an ophthalmic sulfacetamide product used to treat certain bacterial eye infections. Sulfacetamide is a sulfonamide antibiotic, and this Alight 10 mL Eye Drop is applied directly to the eye to help stop bacteria from growing. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as bacterial conjunctivitis and other superficial bacterial eye infections when a doctor wants local treatment. Because it is an eye drop, it works at the site of infection and is not meant for viral or allergic eye irritation.

How it works: Sulfacetamide blocks bacteria from making folic acid, which they need to grow and multiply. When used as Alight 10 mL Eye Drop, it delivers the medicine directly to the infected eye surface to help clear the infection.

Alight 10 mL Eye Drop is supplied as a 10 mL bottle, which is a practical multi-dose size for a full prescribed course. Since there are no other Alight strengths or forms listed here, this product should be used exactly as prescribed for the infection your doctor has diagnosed. A doctor may choose sulfacetamide eye drops when direct eye treatment is preferred over oral antibiotics.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Superficial bacterial eye infections
• Treatment of sulfonamide-sensitive eye bacteria
• Doctor-directed infection control in the eye

• Wash your hands before and after using Alight 10 mL Eye Drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after instilling the drops; do not rub the eye.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Remove soft contact lenses before use and do not put them back in until your doctor says it is okay.

The dose from Alight 10 mL Eye Drop is measured in drops, not in milligrams per drop, and the exact number of drops per dose depends on the prescriber’s directions. It may be used several times a day, but the maximum daily frequency should be decided by your doctor based on the eye infection and how you respond. Because this is a 10 mL bottle, it is a standard multi-dose eye-drop supply rather than a higher single-dose strength.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
