I think it's best to contact your surgeon so he or she can call in a prescription for ophthalmic ointment if needed. The ointment melts and drips into the eye and if it's not ophthalmic it will cause eye irritation and slow your healing. Hope you heal well.

Bacitracin ophthalmic ointment application would be reasonable, but I would recommend that you contact you surgeon's office for specific recommendations. Best of luck with your recovery.

I routinely recommend a small amount of non ophthalmic ointment on the incisions. This is not approved for use in the eye, but considering the extreme cost of ophthalmic ointments is justified.

After a blepharoplasty I recommend ophthalmic antibiotic ointment. You may want to call your surgeon and see what he or she recommends at this point.
